Hazuki Fujiwara

Hazuki Fujiwara started Trusted References in fall 2024 after covering Florida politics for the Tampa Bay Times and spending three years on the Tallahassee statehouse beat for the Pensacola News Journal. She graduated from UF's journalism school in 2013 and spent her first two years writing obituaries and city council meetings for a Gainesville weekly before moving to political reporting. Her 2019 investigation into Escambia County's no-bid contracts got picked up statewide and won a spot reporting award from the Florida Press Club. She grew up between Osaka and San Jose, which is why she still checks Asahi Shimbun every morning alongside the usual Florida papers. She built this site because too many readers told her they couldn't find news sources their professors or bosses would accept as credible. Based in Tampa, she runs the editorial desk and personally vets every source link before anything goes live.
