I focus on Your Florida, a project connecting people with policies passed in Tallahassee.<\/p>\n<p>I was already covering the Florida Capitol as a print journalist when I joined public radio, working for the USA TODAY NETWORK-Florida. As Florida\u2019s first First Amendment reporter, I brought focus and clarity to complicated, contentious issues and held public officials accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, I worked as a state government reporter in my home state, West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work, I love to read and write on top of a slew of other hobbies that are a testament to why I love living in Tallahassee: hiking, biking, kayaking, playing pickleball, and, of course, complaining about Florida traffic.<\/p>\n<p>You can send me a message at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wusf.org\/mailto:douglassoule@wusf.org\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">douglassoule@wusf.org<\/a> or follow me on X <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DouglasSoule\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@DouglasSoule<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"State Government Reporter Tallahassee can feel far away \u2014 especially for anyone who\u2019s driven on a congested Florida&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":{"0":"post-166386","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tallahassee","8":"tag-tallahassee","9":"tag-tallahassee-headlines","10":"tag-tallahassee-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
