Note: Archive pages are typically 200-300KB and may take a while to load on a dial-up modem.

The newspaper articles that make it to press run for a day or two, and then disappear.  Whoseflorida posts daily news clips, and archives these clips by date.  As time permits,  we copy the clips to the relevant agency or topical pages.  Many of the links  will become inactive over time but researchers can search the paper's archives by title and date.  

Florida News Clippings are archived at www.stateofflorida.com also. click here for their archives. (this is not the state of Florida web site)

NOTE - 
If the link to the on-line articles has changed, search the paper's archive section by date and title - i.e. Palm Beach Post links are only active for the day posted but are on site for a week before being archived.  Some papers charge for archive access and some have free access. A search for the article by title through google or another search engine might turn up a copy that has been cached by one of data retrieval services on the net.

Why are we doing this?

Recent legislative sessions have been characterized by drastic actions taken in the name of "reform."  In many cases the legislation under consideration (such as "service first") has been presented in direct contradiction to the vast majority of expert opinion and approved with little or no supportive evidence.  The proponents of the bill would say that this bill was "what Florida needed," and that would be that.

It's almost impossible for most of us to keep track of the effects of legislation over time.  We're too busy trying to keep up with our lives.  Even if we could, too often the reporting is sketchy, often contradictory, and pieces relevant to one area of the state often are printed somewhere else. Too often the mainstream press simply echoes the "party line."  Reading more than one version of the same story can give us a broader perspective.

With your help, WhoseFlorida can gather this information from all around the state and put it together in one place - accessible to all.  So when election time comes around again, and we're told how great everything has been for us over the last couple of years we can find out for ourselves.

You can help by monitoring your area's papers for relevant articles  and sending them in. If you want to set up a page covering your region, help with one of ours or have / know of a site that we could link to that would fit into what we are doing please let us know.  email info@whoseflorida.com 

Thanks for playing.
