Support local reporting. Keep Tampa Bay informed.

When something happens in your community, timely local information matters. IONTB covers breaking news and public-safety incidents across Tampa Bay, with a focus on Pinellas County—from major crashes and road closures to fires, severe weather, and developing local stories.

Your support helps keep that work going.

Facebook remains an important way to connect with readers, but not every post reaches everyone who follows IONTB. Visiting IONTB.com directly is a reliable way to find our latest coverage. Reader support helps us continue that work.

What your contribution supports

Behind each update is time spent gathering information, checking details, reviewing public records, and following a story as it develops. Contributions help support that reporting and the practical costs of operating IONTB, including website hosting, technology, and photo, video, and audio equipment.

IONTB also provides ways to stay connected through its website, social accounts, and public-safety tools, including the IONTB 911 Dashboard.

Give once or support us monthly

A one-time contribution helps with ongoing expenses. Monthly support makes it easier to plan for the work ahead. Choose the amount and schedule that fit your budget—every contribution is appreciated.
