About Tallahassee Source
Tallahassee Source delivers independent local journalism for Florida's capital city and Leon County. We cover City Hall, local schools, public safety, business, and the vibrant communities across the Big Bend region every single day.
Tallahassee Source was created to provide the rigorous, independent local reporting that Florida's capital city deserves. We focus on the decisions made at City Hall by the City Commission and the Mayor, the operations of the city utilities, and the policies shaped by the Leon County Commission. From Midtown and Frenchtown to CollegeTown, SouthWood, and the neighborhoods stretching toward Killearn, we follow the projects, businesses, and public services that directly affect residents. Our reporting connects what happens in local government, Blueprint meetings, and the Capitol with the daily lives of families across Tallahassee, Leon County, and the surrounding Big Bend.
Our reporting is rooted in a deep familiarity with Tallahassee and Leon County. We follow local institutions closely, from Leon County Schools and the campuses of Florida State University, Florida A&M University, and Tallahassee State College to local hospitals and public safety agencies. We verify our facts, listen to our neighbors, and strive to provide clear, accurate reporting on the issues that matter most to our community.
