ADAM JOFI

Adam Jofi McLean is a current publisher of local newspapers, former Deputy Sheriff and television reporter who worked for NBC, CBS and Fox affiliates in Georgia and Mississippi. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the University of Central Florida.

    As a television reporter, Adam interviewed President Jimmy Carter, former Majority House Speaker Senator Trent Lott, former Mississippi Governor Ronnie Musgrove, and numerous other high profile figures. During one interview of a man charged with murder the man confessed to Adam for the shooting from his jail cell.  "I remember when I got my first television reporting job, the News Director of the station told me that they have a reporter named Sheila McLean and asked me if I could go by my first and middle name so viewers would not think we were husband and wife since Sheila was married. Since that job, I worked under my first and middle name and it stuck".

  As a Deputy Sheriff Adam worked the patrol division in North Florida for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office and both narcotics and patrol for the Clay County Sheriff's Office.

   "I look forward to doing a local show here in Pinellas County where I can not only report on great stories, but interview interesting people. I am very fascinated and intrigued  by peoples lives and stories. And to profile local restaurants and businesses is going to be a blast," says Adam.
