The Florida Times-Union is Northeast Florida’s leading news organization, providing trusted, high-quality journalism that is essential to the community. Florida’s oldest newspaper, the Times-Union has served the Jacksonville area since 1864.
The Times-Union has chronicled major events in Jacksonville’s history, from the Great Fire of 1901 to the city-county consolidation in 1968 to the attempted sale of JEA in 2019 and the subsequent fraud conviction of the public utility’s then-CEO. Today, Times-Union journalists serve their community by providing unparalleled coverage of local government, public safety, breaking news, dining and entertainment, growth and development, local sports and more with unmatched depth while upholding the highest journalistic standards.
Part of the nationwide USA TODAY Network, the Times-Union has won numerous awards for its journalism, including the 1968 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography for its sister publication, the now-defunct afternoon newspaper the Jacksonville Journal, for the iconic “Kiss of Life” photo. In 2021, the newspaper won the Frances DeVore Award for Public Service and the Lucy Morgan Award for In-Depth Reporting for its year-long investigation into the attempts to sell JEA.
The Times-Union is published regularly online every day, and in the daily print and e-edition.
