A look at The Florida Times-Union and Northeast Florida

• The Florida Times-Union is a perennial winner of journalism awards for its writing, design, graphics, photography and Internet operations. In the last year, we have won 40 national, regional and statewide awards competing against other large metro dailies in Florida.
• Jacksonville is a fast-growing, business-oriented city, home to the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars and the site of the 2005 Super Bowl. We are surrounded by water — the 310-mile St. Johns River flows through our downtown, and the Atlantic Ocean and some of Florida’s best beaches are 15 miles away.
