Daylina Miller
Multimedia JournalistI took my first photography class when I was 11. My stepmom begged a local group to let me into the adults-only class one summer, and armed with a 35 mm disposable camera, I started my journey toward multimedia journalism.
Now I’m WUSF’s multimedia reporter, creating photos, videos, reels and more to complement our news coverage. I also do my own broadcast stories for the radio.
My journalism spans from phosphate mines, managed Medicaid issues and how transgender Floridians are impacted by state laws, to coral baby nurseries, bull shark research, and COVID-sniffing dogs.
My career has been long and storied. It formally started in high school where I spent four years as a journalist, editor and columnist (RIP "The Light of Day") for the Chamberlain Chieftain, and a community columnist for the Tampa Tribune when I was 16. I got my bachelors degree in journalism from the University of South Florida, and my masters in new media journalism from Full Sail University.
I started USF's Her Campus Magazine branch; wrote about issues impacting college students for USA Today; freelanced for AOL's Patch sites, niche steampunk magazines, the Tampa Tribune, Tampa Bay Times, Palm Harbor Beacon and Florida Geek Scene; worked my first staff job at the Suncoast News; did a brief stint as a reporter and assistant news editor at the Marshall News Messenger in East Texas; then landed at WUSF 11 years ago as its lead health reporter.
In my free time, I play tabletop games and video games (message me to visit the radio station I’ve built on my Animal Crossing island!), collect ethically sourced taxidermy bugs, and add to the Pokemon card collection I started as a child in the 90s.
