Welcome - Our news, public affairs, and information blog reports on cities, their citizens, and residents. There are at least 10,000 Cities on Planet Earth. Our job at #ImaginusMedia, #DoseOfNews, and #CityImages remains the same: to make sense of the big issues shaping our world. We’ll also be introducing more audio features and smart, fast updates on the day’s most important news. We’re rolling out a more streamlined reading experience with more analysis of the biggest stories shaping our world. These improvements are shaped by the communication we’ve had with many of you over the past few months. Your feedback has guided so much of our thinking. Please keep it coming. We are best when in conversation with you, the people we serve.

Journalism renewal does not begin with graphics, platforms, business models, or artificial intelligence. It starts with a decision: to treat people not as targets, but as partners; not as abstractions, but as neighbors. Double-check your sources. Once credibility is lost, it's gone forever. Finally, connection is civic infrastructure with love of humanity at its core.

With soap, filthy mouth... News and other four-letter words.
Who does not respect women journalists? Calling ABC’s Rachael Scott “obnoxious and terrible”. December 6, called Caitlin Collins, “stupid and nasty”. On November 27, he asked Nancy Cortez of CBS,” Are you stupid?” On November 26, he called the NYT Katie Rogers “ugly”. On November 18 he called ABC’s Katie Bruce,” terrible and insubordinate”. And then there was the now infamous November 14 “quiet piggy.”

BROKEN TRUST

The “breakdown of trust” we witnessed this year was not a failure of enforcement.
It was a failure of design.
For decades we treated labels, stamps, and certificates as if they were reality itself.
In 2025, the world discovered the cost of that illusion.
But it also discovered the path forward:
Trust rooted not in symbols, but in the unforgeable details of the physical world.
The next era of global commerce won’t be built on proxies.
It will be built on truth embedded directly into the objects we depend on.

A triple crown of American service belongs to those who have been an educator, a writer-journalist, and a military veteran. Very few people earn all these respected titles. Those who do are living proof of the values that make this nation the greatest on earth. St. Johns County Governance Building's Veterans Office Corridor, where Elena B. Odio’s photograph will be displayed for one year.
