Justine Griffin

Justine Griffin, the retail reporter at the Tampa Bay Times for the past two years, is moving to the health and medicine beat for the paper.

Griffin has been on the retail beat for slightly more than two years.

She previously covered the retail/restaurant beat for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. She also was assistant projects editor at the Herald-Tribune, where she used her digital and social media skills to engage readers with the paper’s most ambitious projects. She also edited the paper’s Unravel project, an online business report aimed at young professionals.

Griffin gained national attention in 2014 when she wrote a first-person narrative about her experience as an egg donor. She is also on the board of directors of the Journalism & Women Symposium.

Griffin is a University of Central Florida graduate who also has worked at the Orlando Business Journal, the St. Augustine Record and the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale.
