Start your day with a quick digest of today's top Central Florida headlines.
Good morning, Central Florida. I'm Roger Simmons, managing editor here at the Sentinel. I, like all the editors here, keep tabs on what are the most read stories on our website. Sometimes our most popular stories are ones which get a lot of local or national attention, or they are ones widely shared on social media. Here are the five most read stories on our website this past week: (1) Scott Maxwell's column: Publix gives $100,000 to DeSantis, gets exclusive COVID vaccination deals in Florida; (2) From our sister newspaper, the South Florida Sun Sentinel: Video surfaces showing QAnon-promoting congresswoman harassing Stoneman Douglas student after massacre; (3) Business reporter Trevor Fraser's story: Shaquille O'Neal's Isleworth estate finally has a pending buyer; (4) News reporter Kate Santich's story: Biden COVID team releases 'previously hidden' Florida report; (5) El Sentinel reporter Ingrid Cotto's Spanish-language story: Are you moving to Florida? Meet the 10 cities with the cheapest rent in the state. That's what you all read the most last week. Here are some stories I hope you will read today … |
