Publisher, Miami Herald

Well, no reason to post it on the Jobs board, but the Herald is looking for a new publisher:

Do you think they will consider recent graduates?

 

You're hired! ;D

 

None of this would have happened if Skippy were still around...

 

That's what happens when you keep Pickle_Juice down.

 

And I wonder what Jim DeFede has to say today?

I met Jesus three times during my stint at The Herald. Sorry to see him go. He's a great guy. I'll never forgot how he arranged for a gas truck to come to the Herald a few days after Hurricane Wilma to fill the tanks of employees' cars (instead of havnig to wait hours on line for gas).

Good luck (buen suerte), Jesus.
You'll be missed.

 

he arranged the gas truck so his employees could work. it wasn't out of kindness.

 

shhh, mgoblue thinks it was because of him.. let him think he's special for a little while longer, k?

 

I read an AP report about this and I threw the paper across the room. How the fuck do you take large government payments for placement of propaganda pieces as a reporter and get your job back? When you have crazy as batshit readership who force out a publisher who fired people for being unethical.

Castro was right. Cuban Americans are bigger jack-booted thugs than the real thing.

 

Well, the reports are correct in saying the Herald and El Nuevo have always played by different rules. I don't think El Nuevo has ever made any pretense of being objective, it preaches to its choir. But at least its staff is separate from the Herald's. I worked at another place that used to take our stories and translate them into Spanish for the Spanish-language weekly. Lord knows what appeared under my byline.

 

The Miami Herald story says he actually resigned a couple weeks ago, but waited to make the announcement until a replacement was found. Check Romenkesko for your link.
