[edit] Number of graphic artists

The article says there are about 23 graphic artists as of 11/20/2007. I work in the art department, and there are 5 full-time staffers in that department. This does not include page designers and paginators, but they are a separate department altogether. I'm changing this number in the article to 5, and I will investigate the number of page designers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.148.44 (talk) 06:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[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.

Hope you like it. Mariano(t/c) 08:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

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."

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MiamiHeraldlogo.JPG

Image:MiamiHeraldlogo.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Request for article

• Could someone create an article for the former Publisher David Lawrence Jr.? Thanks! Jccort (talk) 18:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photos of headquarters

• Does anyone have a photo of the Miami Herald headquarters that they'd like to put on the page. I think it'd be a great addition to the page. --Comayagua99 (talk) 16:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
