DIVIDED WE STAND The partisan divide looks more like a gulf than a gully. For the first time since 1992, the majority of Democrats and Republicans have a very unfavorable […]

Carol Marbin Miller, one of the writers of the Miami Herald’s “Innocents Lost” investigation, on Monday, accepted the Joseph L. Brechner Freedom of Information Award for the 2014 series on behalf of the newspaper. Miller and co-writer Audra D.S.

FloridaPolitics.com and Context Florida contributor Florence Snyder adds a “funny Jeb” anecdote in light of The New York Times story on Bush’s dry sense of humor. “As his campaign has struggled to rejuvenate a languishing bid, some close to him have suggested the existence of a (very) secret weapon: It is at least possible that […]

The first op-ed I attempted to have published in a newspaper was flatly rejected by the Tallahassee Democrat. Twenty years later, the Democrat is still dismissing me. As a freshman at Florida State University, I submitted an unwieldy, egocentric portrait of college life at FSU. The Democrat‘s editorial page editor at the time was Mary Ann Lindley.

Although that figure doesn’t include what Barack Obama and Mitt Romney dished out, it’s still a healthy number. A lot of political consultants built beach houses in Cedar Key and Destin with what they made that year. During the same period, more […]

Florida’s Secretary of State as well as the former United States Secretary of State both have been in the news recently. Ken Detzner may not know Condoleeza Rice, but they could compare notes about freedom of speech. Detzner, and by extension the administration of Gov. Rick Scott, are accused of silencing a critic by […]

I’m thinking of moving back to Tallahassee because I understand there’s a new line of work available for folks like me. I used to be a public relations professional there, helping clients generate interest in their issues, communicate more effectively with the public and avoid missteps in the dicey world of state politics. After years […]

As more than one friend has counseled, it’s crazy to be launching any sort of journalism endeavor in today’s marketplace. Aren’t newspapers laying off editors and reporters? Aren’t media companies being bought up like Boardwalk and Park Place in a game of Monopoly? Unfortunately, the answer to those two questions is “yes.” But that doesn’t […]
