Some exciting news: I placed second in the Hearst Journalism Awards Photojournalism Features and News Competition! I received a scholarship and qualify for the semi-final round. So honored to represent @UFJSchool with @simmonslr_ , who placed eleventh! Here is my submission.

NEW: The Leon County Commission votes to hire the Southern Group as its lobbying firm for both federal and state issues.

Vote was 6-1, Minor against.

By directly hiring the Southern Group, the commission didn’t do its normal bid process.

Two other firms will be terminated.

I’m in Keaton Beach covering the destruction from Hurricane Helene for @WCTV Some very grim sights. Dozens of dead fish line the road into town and float in floodwaters. Cinder blocks and debris is all that remains of many houses.

In case anyone is wondering, 3G is as cold as ever. I am regretting not wearing close-toed heels. 🥶

I’m back in courtroom 3G today for @WCTV . Donna Adelson is here for a pre-trial hearing ahead of her trial in a few weeks. She is charged with conspiring to murder her former son-in-law, Dan Markel.

Now, they’re discussing some transcripts of recordings — Dolce Vita, wire calls, and a restaurant where Harvey and Charlie met.

“You leave it up to the jury to hear what they hear,” Rashbaum said.

This was partly denied and partly granted.
