Miami Herald on the CHEAP. By Geniusofdespair

My paper was so thin this morning I didn't have to lift it - it floated into my hand.

Don't look for the Tropic Section on Monday anymore. It is combined with the Local Section to save bucks. Other cost saving gimmicks soon to come. My favorite: The narrowing of pages. Least favorite: Cutting reporting staff.

Now we can read the comments on the Herald website and realize how illiterate this town is!

I measured the margins a few days after they started changing them. My paper margins are not always consistent. Some days they are smaller than others; other days they are so wide it is silly.

Blame the executives at McClatchy.
You can bet while they are cutting staff and squeezing the reporters and other staff who are left to do more for less, they are collecting their executive pay and probably not turning down their bonuses.
