'The Alligator' writes up Gitmo trip
The Alligator had an article about our trip to Guantanamo Bay in their September 16th edition.
Two UF students report
from Guantanamo Bay
By STEVE JOHNSON, Alligator Writer
After President Barack Obama announced the impending closure of the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, two UF student journalists decided to tell its story.
Telecommunications majors Miles Doran, 21, and Patrick Fleming, 25, made the three-hour journey on a twin-engine Air Sunshine plane Sept. 7 and returned Sept. 10 with hours of video, hundreds of photos and an idea of what it's like to be considered one of the world's most dangerous people...

WUFT/ABC News: Guantanamo Bay 9/11 Anniversary
After logging and writing on the drive up from Ft. Lauderdale Thursday, our first piece from Guantanamo Bay aired on September 11th on WUFT. You can watch it below.
Earlier that day, ABC News took the same piece and ran it on their early morning program, World News Now. Click below to see that version.

Off to Guantanamo Bay
It took six months of planning, but we're finally off to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Patrick Fleming and I are flying down this afternoon to spend a few days shooting a couple stories at the detention facilities at the U.S. Naval Base. We return to Florida on Thursday.
The stories will air on the University of Florida's PBS station, WUFT-TV. I'd like to thank the station and the College of Journalism & Communications for financing the trip. Needless to say, we're both excited to be traveling to Cuba and we're looking forward to bringing back a few good stories.
This will be an interesting time to visit GITMO for a few reasons. First, President Obama wants the detention facilities shut down by January. Whether that's going to happen in time or happen at all is a major point of discussion. Not to mention what will happen to the detainees.

Must be awards season!
WRUF and WUFT have done pretty well with awards over the last few days. First with the Florida AP Broadcasters awards this weekend, then the SPJ regional awards, and just learned today that two of my pieces won regional Edward R. Murrow awards. One was a radio piece on Tropical Storm Fay which won in the 'Breaking News' category. The other was the Guatemala piece Rikki Klaus and I put together, which won in the 'News Documentary' category. WUFT-FM also picked up a few. Congrats to all!
