J.D. Gallop is a Journalist/Strategic Communication at Florida Today. Colleagues describe him as "Jeff Gallop is a newsman to the core, the kind of reporter every editor wants on their staff. Within moments of hearing something on the police scanner, Jeff always has the scoop on what's happening. No one else in the newsroom has the impressive and massive contact list like Jeff''s. Not only is he a great professional, he is also a wonderful, caring person who gets along well in a small newsroom (we were often the only two people in our bureau) or in a large office."
