Carol Marbin Miller is The Florida Trib's Editor at Large. Carol Marbin Miller was the deputy investigations editor at the Miami Herald, where she had worked since 2000. Marbin Miller holds degrees from Florida State University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and has worked at several Florida newspapers, including the Tampa Bay Times and the Palm Beach Post. She has worked as an adjunct professor at Florida International University and Barry University.

Written largely about children and adults with special needs, and the state agencies that exist to serve them, Marbin Miller's stories have had significant results: Her work has led to the passage of 10 state laws, including statutes that reformed the state's child welfare and juvenile justice systems, curbed the use of psychiatric drugs among foster children, overhauled the state's involuntary commitment law, reformed a compensation program for infants born with catastrophic brain injuries, forced the closure of military-style youth boot camps and banned the payment of kickbacks for the referral of psychiatric and substance abuse patients.

Marbin Miller's stories led to the closure of several residential programs for people with disabilities, privately run psychiatric hospitals and assisted living facilities accused of abuse or misconduct. Her series on patient brokering prompted the indictment and conviction in Tampa federal court of more than 50 patient brokers and their customers. One severely disabled teenager was given a liver transplant after Marbin Miller reported that he had been removed from an organ procurement list because he was in foster care. A Madeira Beach Police lieutenant was fired the morning Marbin Miller reported he had paraded a female skinny dipper through the police department naked and refused to allow her to clothe herself.

Marbin Miller has won a number of national and state journalism awards, including Harvard University’s Goldsmith Prize and Worth Bingham Award (twice), the University of Southern California’s Selden Ring Award, the George Polk Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, the Associated Press Managing Editors Award, the Heywood Broun Award (twice), the Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award, the National Headliners' Award, the Online Journalism Awards' Knight Award for Public Service, the Green Eyeshade Award, the Florida Society of News Editors' Gold Medal for Public Service and the Paul Hansel Award for Distinguished Achievement in Florida Journalism. A series she co- wrote about assisted living facilities, Neglected to Death, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for public service in 2012. Another series she co-wrote about Florida's juvenile justice system, Fight Club, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for investigative reporting in 2018.

Marbin Miller was invited to testify before the U.S. Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities, created by Congress in 2013. She spoke about whistleblowing at a Government Accountability Project conference at Florida International University. She moderated a University of Florida Levin College of Law panel on solitary confinement and other controversial punishments of juveniles.

Marbin Miller served on the Florida First Amendment Foundation’s board or trustees to help steer the state’s open government and public records advocacy group, and has spoken often of the deterioration of transparency in Florida, one of the first states to pass government-in-the-sunshine legislation.

She is married to retired attorney David Miller, and has one daughter, Laurel.
