M. Levine's Public Affairs Blog: Hillsborough County Court

http://mlevinepublicaffairs.blogspot.com/2010/03/hillsborough-county-court.html

M Levine's Public Affairs Blog. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Imagine a world that didn’t have courts to settle criminal or civil disputes. What would people end up doing? Loitering, stealing and committing felonies? This parable could become an actualization. Due to the recession, the Hillsborough county court office may be closing to survive budget cuts. Although the office is facing tough times, they still keep the public records and evidence in all cases. Official records (OR) and any record, in line ...

Blogging My Thoughts: "The End Point For Public Records"

http://usfblogthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/03/end-point-for-public-records.html

Monday, March 22, 2010. The End Point For Public Records". Our visit to the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s office may have been the most chilling one that we have taken this year… literally. I had always heard that the medical examiner’s office was cold, but I didn’t realize it until the tour. Being there put everything into perspective for me on a personal level, as well as a journalist. One quote summed up the medical examiner for me. What is nice to know, is that the final resting place for pu...

Public Affairs Reporting Blog: It All Ends Here

http://anessycaban.blogspot.com/2010/03/it-all-ends-here.html

Public Affairs Reporting Blog. Monday, March 22, 2010. It All Ends Here. Who would have thought visiting a medical examiner's office would be a field trip to look forward to. As our class went on the last field trip for the semester, Dr. Vernard Adams provided us with some great insight on the autopsy procedures as well as the records available to the public. Accident, suicide or poison. Suddenly, when in apparent good health. Any suspicious or unusual circumstance.etc. We also came to find out that elec...

My Public Affairs Blog: Frank Talk

http://jesuistyler.blogspot.com/2010/03/pat-frank-and-cases-of-hillsborough.html

My Public Affairs Blog. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Once again I was unable to attend this particular field trip to the Hillsborough County Clerk of Courts. Due to my internship, but from the sounds of it, this may not have been the worst of fates. After watching the video I am more than floored by the shear amount of information that Pat Frank is able to manage. So needless to say I was somewhat baffled by Frank's admission: ".in our case there are 20 circuits in the state but there are 67 clerks so th...

My Public Affairs Blog: NASCAR, Public Records and Autopsy Photos

http://jesuistyler.blogspot.com/2010/03/nascar-public-records-and-autopsy.html

My Public Affairs Blog. Saturday, March 20, 2010. NASCAR, Public Records and Autopsy Photos. So how did you get into pathology? I just sort of fell into it." said Dr. Vernard Adams. That brand of dry humor, made the trip to the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Complex. That much more enjoyable. Accident, suicide or poison. Suddenly, when in apparent good health. Unattended by a practicing physician or other recognize practitioner. In any prison or penal institution. For instance, autopsy reports are ...

Blogging My Thoughts: Rethinking Journalism

http://usfblogthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/rethinking-journalism.html

Wednesday, April 21, 2010. I began reading Farhad Manjoo’s book True Enough: Learning To Live In a Post-Fact Society expecting to just get through it and get a grade for reading it. After two weeks of reading, and class discussion, I believe I am now a more open person, and a better journalist. In a world of hundreds of TV stations, multiple newspaper cities, twitter, cell phones, the internet and blogs, the way people get their news is completely different. People now have more power than ever to de...

Public Affairs Reporting: The Obama Phenomenon (Manjoo)

http://kylewchurchill.blogspot.com/2010/04/obama-phenomenon-manjoo.html

Tuesday, April 13, 2010. The Obama Phenomenon (Manjoo). True Enough: Learning to Live in Post-Fact Society. This same phenomenon is quite evident in today's society. A poll conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. Also, a study by Harvard's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Concluded that the media bias isn't a myth at all. It says that it was far more likely for media outlets to spin something positively towards Democrats than Republicans during the 2008 elections. ...Dbrea...

The Public Affairs Report: A Picture's Worth a Million Interpretations

http://thepublicaffairsreport.blogspot.com/2010/04/pictures-worth-million-interpretations.html

Wednesday, April 21, 2010. A Picture's Worth a Million Interpretations. We are raised to believe books make us smarter, broaden our vocabulary and open our eyes to different viewpoints. What about the books that dare us to challenge the knowledge we have gained and force us to learn the messages behind words that describe how we act everyday? What about when we read to defy every viewpoint we have consciously and unconsciously come to believe in? Photos of men awaiting execution. I chose to talk abou...

life and times of chris dommermuth: Pat Frank

Life and times of chris dommermuth. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner. View my complete profile. Wednesday, March 3, 2010. That being said, it was well worth the frustration. The tour started off with an older, very soft spoken, sweet lady. Little did I know this women was Pat Frank, the Chief Financial Officer of Hillsborough County and the Clerk of the County Courts. A common misconception is that government employees don't work hard nor earn their pay. Seeing the lines the workers were deal...
