The content, however, isn't going anywhere. We'll continue to offer 70,000 copies per week of the kind of investigative stories that have been honored repeatedly by national groups such as Investigative Reporters and Editors. And we will keep providing the very best cultural coverage in Florida, including comprehensive music, food, art, and theater reviews.

In fact, our breaking news coverage on the web -- which garners about a half-million page views a week and has launched us into the ranks of Florida's best news sources -- should grow throughout 2010. As daily newspapers struggle, we are thriving.
