McClatchy Newspaper Layoffs Impact Over 90 Journalists, Including Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald Staff
Carol Marbin Miller, deputy investigations editor of The Miami Herald, has drawn attention to significant layoffs within the McClatchy newspaper chain. These layoffs have affected more than 90 unionized journalists and media workers across 17 different publications. The Miami Herald, a prominent newspaper in Florida, experienced 32 job cuts, which included 28 lost positions and four roles that were frozen. A particularly notable impact was on El Nuevo Herald, the Spanish-language publication of The Miami Herald, where the entire writing staff was affected. Miller underscored the critical role of Miami as Florida's largest city and a key state, emphasizing the potential repercussions of weakening its news infrastructure. The widespread nature of these layoffs across multiple publications indicates a broader trend within the McClatchy chain.
