We view our job as a calling. We love telling stories. It's our passion to find news that's relevant to our community and share it with you — and to bring context that can help make sense of our world.
We are mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. We may root for the same sports teams — though we keep it professional on the sidelines and in the press box. We shop at the same stores, traverse the same traffic and drop our kids off at the same schools. We love the beach, and we love the sun. We drink lots of coffee and don't make it to the gym enough, We're too busy working.
We value your feedback and your support. Click here if you would like to leave a news tip. Or scan below to learn more about the people at Florida's largest newsroom devoted to bringing you the news.
