dc.description.abstractFlorida has always encompassed an otherness that separates it from the rest of the United States. However, the exact nature of what makes Florida unique has shifted overtime. This essay examines how the media’s portrayal of Florida has impacted the way the state is viewed by the rest of the country. Starting after the civil war, Florida was portrayed as an exotic paradise. Today, the Florida Man trend has caused Florida to be viewed as place for lawlessness and strange crimes. To avoid a negative impact on Florida’s tourism industry in the future, Florida needs to be reinvented once again. This time, Florida’s rare beauty and ecotourism opportunities need to be highlighted in order to appeal to the desires of millennial travelers.en_US
