MiamiWebNews.com is the product of John Dorschner, a Miami journalist for half a century, most of that with The Miami Herald. Much of his material can be found at miamiwebnews.blogspot.com. He can be reached at miamiwebnews@gmail.com. When he has something to post, he’ll tweet @johndorschner and post on facebook.com/miamiwebnews.

      He is the author of Verdict on Trial: The Inside Story of the Cop Case that Ignited Miami’s Deadliest Riot. Available on Amazon. More about the book and his research on his site Miami1980.com.

       He’s also written How Florida Got Its Shape and is co-author, with Roberto Fabricio, of The Winds of December, a history of Cuba in late 1958-early 1959 covering the downfall of Batista and the coming to power of Castro.

       He remains a somewhat finicky restaurant critic, posting as John D. on Yelp, with strong leanings toward reasonable prices, prompt service and places that don’t ask what fancy brand of whiskey he wants in his old fashioned.

        From time to time, he posts videos, either news oriented ones, available on YouTube. Details to be provided later.
