About Florida Bay News
Sunshine. Accountability. Real Florida News.
Florida Bay News is an independent, reader-supported news organization dedicated to bringing clarity, transparency, and truth to one of America’s most dynamic and misunderstood states. From the Governor’s office in Tallahassee to the streets of Miami, from panhandle towns to the Florida Keys, we cover the stories that shape the lives of everyday Floridians — without spin, without censorship, and without political favor.
Our mission is simple: Expose what matters. Explain what’s hidden. Illuminate what others overlook.
We report on:
- State politics and government
- Courts, justice, and prosecutorial power
- DCF/child welfare and family court oversight
- Law enforcement, policing, and public safety
- County-level news across the state
- Investigations into public institutions
- Florida Man Files — the stories that could only happen here
Florida Bay News is part of the wider BayNews Network, a multi-state reporting project committed to transparency and public accountability. We operate with strict editorial independence, a commitment to primary-source documentation, and a refusal to sanitize the truth to fit political narratives.
Florida is a state of extremes — extreme weather, extreme politics, extreme bureaucracy, and yes, extreme headlines. But beneath the chaos lies a complex system of government, courts, and agencies that often operate without proper oversight. That’s where we step in.
We dig into public records, analyze court filings, investigate misconduct, and follow the threads others leave behind. Our reporting is built to help residents understand their rights, their government, and the systems that impact families, communities, and freedom.
Whether you’re here for serious investigations or simply the latest “Florida Man” moment, we’re glad you’re part of the story.
Florida Bay News — because sunshine isn’t just the weather. It’s accountability.
