It owns the company that publishes the St. Petersburg Times and Florida Trend Magazine. It is in close proximity to the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library on the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus. It was founded in May 1975 by Nelson Poynter, chairman of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly bearing the name Modern Media Institute.

One of Poynter's endeavors is Jim Romenesko's blog, Romenesko, covering journalism and the media, hosted on Poynter's Web site.[2]. The blog, which gets high traffic from industry professionals, was included in News.com's "Blog 100" for media blogs.
