About The Florida Press

What this site is, how its articles are made, and how to reach us.

What this site is

The Florida Press is an independent Florida news site, launched in 2026. It is owned and run by one person. It is not affiliated with any political party, candidate, government agency, advertiser, or other news organization.

It publishes a daily feed of Florida news: politics from Tallahassee to Washington, the courts, the economy and real estate, hurricanes and weather, Florida sports, education, health, and the environment, plus national stories told through their effect on Florida. The site also carries guides, weather, scores, and Florida market data.

How our articles are made

Articles on this site are researched and written by AI (currently Anthropic's Claude), working to a written brief that we maintain. The brief tells it to build each story on the public record, such as an agency release, a court filing, a sheriff's office statement, or a box score, and to use other news outlets only to find stories, not as the source for them.

Articles are published automatically. No editor reads each one before it goes live. The owner sets the brief, audits what the system publishes, and corrects errors when they are found or reported. Mistakes do get through, which is why every article has a “Report an error” button. Pieces in the Editorial & Opinion section are written the same way.

Every article appears under one byline, “The Florida Press Newsroom”, which stands for the process described here, not a team of reporters. The full rules are on our editorial standards page.

What we cover

  • Politics: Tallahassee, the Florida congressional delegation, and federal politics that affects Florida
  • Business and real estate: the Florida economy, housing, the insurance market, tourism, and ports
  • Crime and courts: sheriff's offices, state attorneys, federal court, and the Florida Supreme Court
  • Hurricanes and weather: National Hurricane Center advisories, severe weather, and flooding
  • Sports: Florida's pro and college teams
  • Health, education, and the environment: hospitals and public health, schools and universities, the Everglades and the coast
  • National news: Washington and world stories framed through their effect on Florida

Corrections

When an error is found, we correct the article and list substantive corrections on the corrections page with the date and what changed.

Funding and independence

The site is paid for by advertising. Advertisers have no say in what we publish. We do not publish paid or sponsored articles; if we ever do, they will be labelled as sponsored and kept apart from the news. Advertising options are on our advertising page.
