Issues...
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

Over the course of my journalism career, most, if not all, stories involved an issue–whether disagreement over a government action or law or a dispute between people. The role of a reporter is to sort through those issues and to explain the root of the dispute clearly and without bias.
Here are some examples of those issue articles>>
- Your privacy is disappearing, and you’re helping it along
- Wrongful death law may seem simple, but it’s not
- Thinking of emigrating after the election? You’re not alone.
- Small claims court: It may be the answer if you know the rules
- ‘Ignored’ millennials stake a claim on Tampa Bay community’s political future
- Florida criminalizes fake emotional support animal ownership
- Facial recognition software flawed, as government use increases
- Goat DNA at center of lawsuit between neighbors
