Who they cover

Party of the officials these stories are mainly about, across all 29 officials named. A story counts once for each official it is mainly about, so the split is over 35 story–official pairs, from 24 stories.

Article tone

ChamberLight’s article analysis assigns each story a tone toward the official it covers. It describes the coverage of that official, not Tampa Free Press’s stance, and reader votes do not change it. 24 stories.
