About The Tulsa Times

The Tulsa Times is an independent digital newspaper covering Community, Business, Events, Development and Oklahoma. It is a new Oklahoma newsroom anchored in Tulsa: what is being built, decided and celebrated across the state. It is part of VUGA Network, a group of independent digital publications published in the United States.

About The Tulsa Times

The paper is written for people who live here, not for people flying over. A story about a development deal names the blocks it changes; a story about a school decision names the district and the date it takes effect.

What We Cover

Community reports people, neighborhoods, schools and local institutions across the Tulsa metro and Oklahoma — the congregations, teams and volunteer organizations that hold towns together. Business covers the state's working economy: energy, aerospace, healthcare, restaurants and small business in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, with openings, closures and hiring reported alongside the pressures behind them. Events keeps the calendar — festivals, rodeo, arts, openings and the Route 66 circuit — with dates, prices and practical detail. Development follows the growth: downtown Tulsa's resurgence, housing, infrastructure and the city hall decisions funding it, with the public money and the beneficiaries named. Oklahoma News and Local News carry the dated record of verified events statewide.

How We Work

Reporters attend the meetings and read the agendas beforehand, so coverage states what passed, on whose vote, and when residents will feel it. Press releases are not reprinted as news, and corrections run where the error ran.
