News Summary:
News4JAX will introduce a new "Neighborhood Accountability & Solutions Beat" this summer, partnering with Report for America, a nonprofit journalism organization, to address an information gap in Jacksonville. This initiative follows the news outlet joining the Northeast Florida News Partners Collaborative on January 20, 2026, to tackle housing costs, an issue News4JAX has explored since May with its weekly "Addressing A4dability" reports, covering topics from mobile home health concerns to verifying home builder tax estimates. Previously, on December 6, 2025, News4JAX, citing its sister station WKMG, reported that four proposed constitutional amendments for property tax reform in Florida advanced toward becoming law, after Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 700 into law on May 15, 2025. Earlier in November 2025, News4JAX also reported via WKMG that a new Florida bill sought to impose more responsibilities on mobile home park owners. Separately, on November 21, 2025, News4JAX reporter Caleb Yauger profiled Dr. Judy Benjamin, an Alzheimer’s survivor who completed a nearly 3000-mile cross-country walk, attributing her stabilized cognitive function to targeted testing, nutrition shifts, and structured exercise aligned with the ReCODE Protocol.
