The Destin Log is printed each Wednesday and Saturday at 1225 Airport Road Destin Florida with distribution to Destin and South Walton County residents. It is sent to subscribers as Second Class mail.
A Tuesday deadline piece follows a South Walton County slaying as reporters chase details from the medical examiner and investigators. The open murder charge, jail transfer, and imminent first appearance shape the initial report while a broader editorial stance defends reporting brutal crime to inform readers.
The Destin Log calls for opinions on its editorial position and asks readers to send legible letters with signature and address. It provides the Editor mailing address at P O Box 957 1225 Airport Road Destin Florida 32541 and notes the newspaper may edit lengthy submissions.
