The announcement last week that The Miami Herald will cut 17 percent of its staff raises questions about what kind of product the newspaper will become for readers like you and me. Of The Miami Herald's more than 1,400 employees, some 190 will lose their jobs. The cuts affect all divisions, but we'll focus on the newsroom. Fairness belongs in blogs as much as in print http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/561076.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/561076.html Sun, 08 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Wealthy sports stars such as Jason Taylor aren't like you and me, but that doesn't mean The Miami Herald can take license in writing about who they are and what they think. Mideast coverage is a matter of perception http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/536048.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/536048.html Sun, 18 May 2008 03:01 EDT One of the most treacherous stories for The Miami Herald to cover is Israel, not because of the wars and terrorism there, but because of the passions among readers here. In printing graphic photo, instinct guides editors -- not hard rules http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/509885.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/509885.html Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT The different photographs that The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald ran this week of a Vietnamese girl with a massive facial tumor raise questions of when a picture is exploitive of its subject or offensive to us as readers. A look at how the Herald selects reader letters http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/474100.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/474100.html Sun, 30 Mar 2008 03:01 EDT It is to many readers a mystery, maybe even a conspiracy: Who gets their letters to the editor published, and why? In recent weeks, I have received complaints that the letters seem to reflect a political bias, or favorites, or are anti-Cuban. Fake-brands story needed more discretion http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/402794.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/402794.html Sun, 03 Feb 2008 03:01 EST The Miami Herald now appears to be encouraging people to steal. Then again, maybe many of us are guilty -- including me. A first-person article by Elaine Pasekoff, which ran this past week in the Tropical Life section, gleefully detailed how she traveled to New York's Chinatown and was taken by surreptitious guides into three secret showrooms where she bought counterfeit handbags. ''I quickly complete my mission,'' she writes, 'by selecting several bags that are close matches to the ones on my list... We need to have more context in real-estate stories http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/385098.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/385098.html Sun, 20 Jan 2008 03:01 EST Most of us reading this newspaper have a mortgage, own our home or want to buy one. So, when The Miami Herald writes about housing, it is affecting a major source of our net worth. As the value of our house goes, so goes the value of our savings, retirement and credit. Looking for ways to tame poisonous words on Web http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407405.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407405.html Sun, 16 Dec 2007 03:01 EST You might not normally link Sean Taylor and Benjamin Franklin, but the two are linked in ignominy with part of The Miami Herald's website. Of the three, only the murdered football player comes off well. Herald must pay attention to news of Iraq http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407406.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407406.html Sun, 18 Nov 2007 03:01 EST Most of us wish the Iraq War would just go away. In one way, you might think it slowly has: the pages of The Miami Herald. Contribution to Clinton campaign weighed http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407411.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407411.html Sun, 28 Oct 2007 03:01 EDT The Miami Herald has made a financial contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. As readers or supporters of other candidates, have you and I just been defrauded? The choice of how to describe immigrants is vital http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407416.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407416.html Sun, 23 Sep 2007 03:01 EDT Is The Miami Herald guilt-ridden with white man's burden, soft on crime or just muddle headed? These are among the questions raised by some readers about what they see as The Herald's squeamishness in writing about . . well, that's the issue. Are they illegal aliens? Undocumented workers? Or as some say in South Texas, just plain wetbacks. An outside view of immigration coverage http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407417.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1259/story/407417.html Sun, 16 Sep 2007 18:00 EDT How can even the most hardened editor not go warm and fuzzy over the Gomez brothers?<p/>The two boys were detained to be deported to their native Colombia when student friends intervened to save them, launching an online campaign, raising money and going to Congress. They won the family's release, at least for the moment. The Gomez boys, 18 and 19, were popular students, and the younger Juan was a star. He had near-perfect grades and has just entered the honor's program at Miami Dade College.
