Ellis Geiger — General assignment — city & county

Ellis Geiger is Orlando Citizen’s general-assignment reporter for city and county news — the senior generalist on the news desk, taking the stories that belong to the whole county rather than to any single beat.

His sources are the record: city and county releases, agendas and minutes, court and agency documents. He writes for the county as it is — the metro core and the small towns around it, Apopka to Zellwood — and states his facts the way the documents state them.

What he covers: City of Orlando and Orange County general news, civic institutions, county-wide follow-ups, and the small-town stories the beat desks do not reach.
