DELAND, Fla. -- The Volusia County Sheriff's Office prominently lists 16 media outlets with links to their sites online, including a weekly newspaper that doesn't even exist anymore. Headline Surfer® is the only media outlet excluded from the Sheriff's website, despite its proven track record as a provider of daily news for nearly nine years.
 
Listed are two daily newspapers, five weeklies (one of which stopped publishing two years ago), five Orlando TV stations and four AM radio stations.
 
Here are the listed media outlets:
The Daytona Beach News-Journal, a daily print newspaper, which also provides an online edition, both of which charge for access.
The Orlando Sentinel, one of Florida's largest metro dailies with an online access, both of which are subscriber-based.
The DeLand-Deltona Beacon
