More Drama In Miami

It turns out there's a bit more to the story behind the recent shake-up (following the initial shake-up) at El Nuevo Herald after the paper fired two reporters and ended relations with a freelancer when it was revealed that they had received payments for appearances on Radio and TV Marti. Yesterday, the paper announced that publisher Jesus Diaz Jr. was resigning and the fired reporters would have their jobs reinstated. Today, the Herald revealed that Diaz "actually quit two weeks ago," after a disagreement over a column by Carl Hiaasen about the Radio/TV Marti flap that Diaz didn't think should run. He eventually decided that the column should be published, but it seems that incident was the catalyst for his departure from the paper two weeks later. The Herald has the full story.
