Zoning:

Every day, the Herald-Tribune produces six zoned local news sections that combine the best regional and state news with news from the local area. In addition, the newspaper often zones page 1A and the sports section, and at least once a week the business section is zoned.

SNN News 6

The area's only 24-hour local television news source, SNN News 6 reaches more than 118,000 television viewers in Sarasota and Charlotte counties - more local news viewers than all other television stations, even those broadcasting from Tampa and Fort Myers. SNN was Florida's first 24-hour news channel and is the nation's only cable station fully integrated into a newspaper, allowing SNN to tap more than 50 print reporters. That makes SNN the largest television news operation between Tampa Bay and Marco Island.
