Analysis / Bias
The Jewish Press of Tampa covers news for the Jewish Community in Tampa Bay, Florida. Articles and headlines usually do not contain emotional language, such as this Leadership Award honorees include diplomats, city councilmen, teachers. This local story, like all other stories reviewed, does not use hyperlinked sourcing.
Editorially, the paper strongly favors Israel, especially as it relates to the conflict with Palestine, such as this 290,000 strong show up for Israel. Regarding US Politics, they write neutrally about Joe Biden like this, Biden expands Civil Rights Act protections to include antisemitism. However, when reporting on Donald Trump, they tend to use a more negative tone, like Trump’s dinner with ‘Jew-haters’ draws rare critiques from some Jewish allies. When it comes to social issues, they lean-left with stories like this Jewish transgender man gives birth and embraces life as a single ‘abba’ and Progressive Jews find a new voice to counter conservative viewpoint. In general, the Jewish Press of Tampa is fact-based and holds left-leaning editorial biases.
