Howard Altman (born 1960) is an American journalist and newspaper editor. He was an investigative reporter, columnist and news editor at the Philadelphia City Paper for many years, and its editor-in-chief from March 2003 until he was fired in May 2004. During his tenure at the City Paper, Altman won multiple local and state awards in the "weekly alternative" or "non-daily" categories for his columns, sports coverage, and investigative reporting. Altman and colleagues have also won awards as editors for the front-page design of the City Paper's issue dealing with the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Relocating to Tampa, Florida, Altman joined The Tampa Tribune as a reporter in the merged newsroom of the Tribune, Tampa Bay Online (tbo.com) and the local NBC television affiliate, WFLA-TV^[1]. He also served as Courts and Cops Team Leader for the Tribune. Because of the large military presence in the Tampa Bay area as reflected by MacDill Air Force Base, the Avon Park Air Force Range, Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater, Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg, numerous smaller U.S. Coast Guard installations, multiple homeported Coast Guard cutters, various Reserve and National Guard facilities, and one of the largest active duty military, reserve military (to include National Guard), retired military and military veteran populations in Florida, Altman later became the Tribune's military reporter.

With the May 2016 acquisition of The Tampa Tribune by its long-time St. Petersburg, Florida-base competitor, The Tampa Bay Times (formerly The St. Petersburg Times), Altman became the senior writer/military affairs for The Tampa Bay Times.^[2]
