Chloe Ramirez

Florida News Reporter

Chloe Ramirez covers Florida news for Florida Times Daily, reporting on statewide developments, local government decisions and issues affecting communities across the state. Her work includes public-affairs reporting, community stories and human-interest features that show how larger developments affect Floridians in their everyday lives.

Chloe has a background in local journalism and community reporting, with experience reviewing public records, interviewing residents and translating complicated government actions into clear, useful coverage. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and has completed professional training in public-records research and source verification.

Her reporting is grounded in original documents, direct interviews and information from accountable public sources. She approaches every assignment with a people-first perspective while distinguishing verified facts from analysis, allegations and opinion.

Logan Mitchell

Crime and Public Safety Reporter

Logan Mitchell leads crime, emergency and public-safety coverage for Florida Times Daily. He reports on developing incidents, law-enforcement activity, court proceedings, severe weather emergencies and the public agencies responsible for keeping Florida communities safe.

Logan has newsroom experience covering breaking news and public-safety agencies. His professional training includes public-records reporting, court-document research, trauma-aware interviewing and the verification of information emerging during fast-moving events.

His reporting prioritizes confirmed facts, precise attribution and meaningful context. Logan does not treat an arrest as proof of guilt, clearly distinguishes allegations from established findings and updates developing stories as agencies release new information. He also works to minimize unnecessary harm when reporting on victims, families and vulnerable people.

Areas of coverage: Crime, courts, law enforcement, emergency response, public safety and developing incidents.

Ava Collins

National News and Digital Trends Reporter

Ava Collins covers major U.S. and national stories for Florida Times Daily, concentrating on developments with a clear connection or consequence for Florida readers. She also reports on widely shared online stories, emerging digital conversations and claims attracting significant public attention.

Ava has a background in digital journalism, audience research and online verification. She holds a bachelor’s degree in communications and has completed professional training in fact-checking, source evaluation, image verification and responsible social-media reporting.

Her work adds context to fast-moving stories rather than simply repeating what is trending. Before publication, she traces claims to their original source, checks images and videos for authenticity, and distinguishes verified developments from speculation or online reaction. National stories are selected because they materially affect Florida audiences, not merely because they are popular elsewhere.

Areas of coverage: U.S. news, federal developments affecting Florida, digital culture, misinformation and verified online trends.

Our Approach

The Florida Times Daily team exists to make Florida news and information timely, useful and easy to understand. We focus on reporting that helps readers make sense of their state, their communities and the decisions affecting their daily lives.

Our newsroom prioritizes original Florida reporting, practical service journalism and carefully selected national coverage with a meaningful Florida connection. We aim to contribute information, verification or context that readers cannot obtain from a rewritten press release or a summary of another publication’s work.

How We Report

Our journalists are expected to:

• Use primary documents, official records and direct interviews whenever possible.
• Attribute important facts to identifiable, accountable sources.
• Seek responses from people and organizations who are meaningfully criticized.
• Distinguish confirmed facts, allegations, analysis and opinion.
• Verify information found on social media before treating it as factual.
• Link to original documents and public resources when they help readers evaluate the evidence.
• Include publication and update times on developing coverage.
• correct material errors promptly and transparently.

Service Journalism

Our guides are created to answer genuine questions about living in, visiting and navigating Florida. Writers verify prices, rules, operating hours, eligibility requirements, and other changeable details with the responsible agency, venue, or organization.

Every practical guide should tell readers when its information was last reviewed. Articles requiring regular maintenance are assigned an update schedule, and outdated pages are corrected, redirected or removed rather than left to mislead readers.

Public Safety and Breaking News

Accuracy takes priority over speed. During developing events, we identify what has been confirmed, what remains unknown, and which agency or individual supplied each important detail.

We use careful language when reporting allegations, arrests and court proceedings. We consider the safety and privacy of victims, minors and vulnerable people and avoid publishing graphic or personally identifying details without a clear public-interest reason.

Corrections and Updates

Florida Times Daily welcomes correction requests and questions about our reporting. When we confirm that published information is materially inaccurate, we correct it promptly and add an editor’s note explaining the change when transparency requires one.

Routine additions to developing stories may be identified through an updated timestamp. Corrections that change the meaning of an article should be clearly disclosed.

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are based on relevance, evidence, and public value. Advertising, sponsorships and commercial relationships do not determine our news conclusions. Sponsored or affiliate-supported material should be clearly labeled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage.

Our Commitment

Whether we are examining a public record, covering an emergency, explaining a Florida rule or verifying a widely shared claim, our goal is the same: to give readers accurate information, appropriate context, and a clear understanding of what matters.
