[edit] Breaking News today 10/03/2006
The publisher stepped down today. I'm a newbie, so I'll leave it to someone else to edit this. I came to the Miami Herald website when I found out they heard about the Foley e-mails long ago but decided not to publish a story.

I had copied "nine news reporters" from the paper's web site. But I took it out because I doubt it; the number is too small. I work in a newspaper and have context. Maurreen 14:14, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Why ignore their own website?
That sounds very biased. So if the Miami Herald website says that they only have X number of reporters you are just going to unilaterally goose up their numbers because it makes you feel better?? Maybe you should contact the Herald directly and ask? I wonder why someone who is not even a regular editor or contributor or reader of the Miami Herald would be involved in editing information about it.
[edit] Update 4/30/06
The spelling bee has been discontinued for a few years because the paper could not afford $40K/yr for it; fortunately now it can afford film and street festivals. The Tropic sunday magazine was also killed several years ago to little grief. Should be corrected in article.
Needless to say, the number of reporters is much greater than nine, between fifty and one hundred, subject to adjustment for part timers. There is a remarkable number of former Herald reporters at national newspapers.
The parent company, Knight-Ridder, was recently sold to McClatchy Newspapers.
The Herald's latest endeavor is the gradual takeover of WLRN-FM, the barely managed local NPR station, via commercial filled rush hour news reports, interviews and now special programs. Curiously for a media company, there is no public information on the financial aspects of this relationship.
Frequently nicknamed "Monster by the Bay."
