The Miami Herald has eliminated 30 positions, significantly impacting its editorial staff and local reporting capabilities. These layoffs are part of a broader downsizing by parent company McClatchy, which is also encouraging newsrooms to adopt artificial intelligence. Several other McClatchy-owned newspapers, including the Lexington Herald-Leader and Kansas City Star, have also experienced staff cuts. The affected journalists include those covering sports, city hall, and photography, as well as all staff from the Spanish-language paper El Nuevo Herald. Critics argue these reductions threaten the future of local journalism and accountability in Miami.
