Sun Sentinel to Print 'Stars and Stripes' for Troops in Haiti

Editor & Publisher reported on January 29, 2010:

"Starting Saturday, Stars and Stripes will begin circulating in Haiti -- undoubtedly the only American newspaper on the earthquake-devastated island.

"Stars and Stripes has not only a proud tradition but a mandate to be sure that we provide a newspaper wherever soldiers are," Senior Managing Editor Howard Witt said in a telephone interview Friday. "The main places we go now obviously is Iraq and Afghanistan, but as soon as it was apparent there was going to be a massive deployment to Haiti, our distribution and circulation people were trying to figure out how to get on the island."

It wasn't easy.

After all, it's been hard enough getting vital supplies to Haiti. "Obviously, food and water have a higher priority than newspapers," said Witt. Stars and Stripes distribution managers "have been working this since the second day of the disaster, and you can see it's taken this long to work out the logistics."

The 800 copies going to Haiti will be printed at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale. "It works out well for them because we have an early afternoon deadline, so it's not taking any press time away," he said.
Sun-Sentinel circulation drivers will bring the copies to Homestead Air Reserve Base, where they will be flown to Haiti, said Lt. Col. Autumn C. Whalen, Star and Stripes Pacific support commander. "That will be our regular delivery draw," she said.

On December 1, 2008, Editor & Publisher ran a story with the headline "3 Top Florida Papers Extend Content Sharing -- With News Produced by FIU J-School Students."

"South Florida's three largest daily newspapers are about to announce a new initiative in their three-month-old content-sharing arrangement, the launching of a news service with print and digital articles produced by Florida International University journalism students.

The South Florida News Service will launch in January, Earl Maucker, editor and senior vice president of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, confirmed in an interview Monday.

The news service to be run out of classrooms at FIU's School of Journalism and Mass Communication formalizes even further the news content-sharing arrangement between the Sun Sentinel, The Miami Herald, and The Palm Beach Post that was launched in late August. Under that arrangement, the three dailies can publish stories from each other's print newspaper and online news sites. The content sharing is limited to local news, courts, government affairs, police reports, and entertainment, with investigative series or other enterprise projects not part of the arrangement."
