What happened
Miami journalism in South Florida is facing a crisis, marked by staffing reductions at local outlets. In September, the Miami Herald laid off 30 reporters following sweeping cuts made by its parent company. Meanwhile, New Times is launching an end-of-year membership campaign to raise $25,000 to fund its operations in 2027.
