Covering Sunshine State journalism like sunblock. Sharing posts in the field: RTs/Follows ≠ Endorsement; more like a JFYI. Tweets by Anne and Sherry.

Congratulations to Carol @MarbinMiller on landing at @TheFloridaTrib as editor-at-large. "I’ll be joining a growing young staff of very talented journalists trying to create something special within a struggling industry," she announced today.
She adds: "It’s a player-coach gig, and my plan is to continue to report stories about Floridians at the margins – children, elders, people with disabilities – who suffer for lack of care or services."

This is a really interesting debate. Depending on the story, keep your notes for at least a year, but also use the guidance your outlet's legal counsel provides.
But there's also a slippery slope of releasing notes/audio every time someone questions reporting.
I trust the Times over Holmes/Evans on the accuracy of the quote. But I gotta say, the idea of doing a profile of someone this well-known, with a reputation for dishonesty, and not recording, gives me hives. This is exactly why you record!

Nearly 60 journalists who recently landed positions in a new newsroom explained how to get a job right now. Most of them had the same advice: You need to network more.

A reminder to journalists to save all of your past work, and/or utilize Wayback Machine's web archive because one day, all of your written work over the last 7-8 years on a website could be just wiped away. 🙂↕️
Great news, @beckreports & @miaminewtimes
Laid off by the Miami Herald, this reporter isn't done with South Florida.

New day, new X handle: @byMarkWoods
Created the old one in early days of Twitter, putting a “TU” in front of my name. Now that I’m no longer a Times-Union employee — cleaned out my desk the other day and unearthed all kinds of memories — figured it was time to change the handle.

This is so good. As a former small-town sports editor, what we did *mattered*. Saturday morning meant a game story - with quotes & reaction - and full boxscores from every game. Previews on Thursdays. Features, coverage of all sports. You knew what was going on in the area.

I've been waiting several weeks to get text messages between the Apopka Mayor and Trooper Steve about the Public Information Director job. I hope the city responds to my public records request soon. Transparency matters.

The cat is officially out of the bag… I’ll be retiring at the end of hurricane season.
I’ve been in front of the cameras in So Fl, 30+ years (21 at WSVN & 10 before that at Telemundo). As a whole, in the TV industry for 40 years ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2026/9…

A salute to Dewayne Bevil, who is officially reaching the unload platform after 19 years covering theme parks for the Orlando Sentinel. Here’s hoping whatever comes next has a short wait.
Some personal/professional news ... the end is near for this theme park ranger
