Relocating to Tampa, Florida, Altman joined The Tampa Tribune as courts and cops editor in the converged newsroom of the Tribune, Tampa Bay Online (tbo.com) and the local NBC television affiliate, WFLA-TV.[1] There, he helped form the Continuous News Desk, which merged all three platforms into one synchronized unit he helped run.
