Local Columns

Content: These columns have long functioned as a way for publications to connect with their community, and for writers to explore local issues with style and personality. For this reason, local columnists are often longtime, well-known residents with an insider’s knowledge of the area. For example, at "The Miami Herald," Carl Hiaasen has written colorful columns about Florida life, news and politics since 1985. References
