Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 1:55pm on Monday, November 16th, 2009 | Miami Herald To Launch Hyper-Local Web Network; Initial Focus On Five Local Communities, according to a November 13, 2009 article in Editor & Publisher:
"Rick Hirsch, senior editor/multimedia, says the five Web sites will be run by local residents or organizations that range from a former Herald reporter to a community foundation.
"We've created a platform through which we can give a partner control over a neighborhood section," he said. "They can use our content management system and publish photos, stories, have community forums and have control over advertising inventory. And they keep what they sell."
Hirsch said the network could conceivably grow to some 150 community sites, all within the Herald circulation area.
"The partners can share content and use our content if the want," he added.

Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:07pm on Monday, March 23rd, 2009 | March 11, 2009: The Associated Press reported that the Miami Herald will cut about 175 jobs:
"About 175 employees at The Miami Herald will lose their jobs, and most of the remaining full-time staff will see their salaries reduced as the newspaper tries to cut costs amid plunging advertising revenue.
The layoffs include 33 full-time and eight part-time positions in the newsroom.
Another 30 vacant positions across the entire newspaper will go unfilled.
Staffers who survive the layoffs will endure pay cuts — 5 percent for those making between $25,000 and $50,000, and 10 percent for those earning more — starting March 23. One-week unpaid furloughs will be implemented in April, Publisher David Landsberg said in a staff memo Wednesday.
"All of these are difficult decisions, especially when it means saying goodbye to so many of our friends and colleagues," Landsberg said. "But we must make these additional cuts to ensure the viability of our newspapers and to adjust to new competitive and economic realities."
The cuts are part of a 15 percent job reduction announced Monday by the newspaper's owner, McClatchy Co., as part of efforts to seek at least $110 million in savings over the next year because the recession has sharply reduced advertising sales.
In clipping 1,600 jobs in the latest round, McClatchy has downsized its work force by nearly a third in less than a year."

Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 12:19pm on Monday, December 8th, 2008 | On December 7, 2008, Richard Perez-Pena of The New York Times reported that the Miami Herald is for sale:
"The McClatchy Co., burdened by debt and a steep slide in newspaper advertising, wants to sell one of its most prized properties, The Miami Herald, according to people briefed on the company's plans.
McClatchy, the nation's third-largest newspaper chain, has approached potential buyers for The Herald, said these people. But they said they knew of no serious offers for the paper, reflecting the evaporation of major investors' interest in buying newspapers.
The company refused to discuss the matter. Elaine Lintecum, the treasurer, said, "We do not comment on market rumors."
The Herald is one of the largest of McClatchy's 30 daily papers, with daily circulation of 210,000. It is also arguably the most prestigious, having won 19 Pulitzer Prizes. But it is not clear what kind of bids it might fetch, if any; with newspaper profits shrinking fast, the economy contracting and credit tight, many newspapers have been on the block for months without selling."
