I don’t have much to add to this thread except my experience as a former Miami Herald reporter. During my six months there, I watched McClatchy put the Herald — the 123-year-old paper whose staff broke the Jeffrey Epstein story, the Hope Florida scandal, and countless other investigations — on a path to becoming an AI slop factory. By the end it felt like I was training a machine to replace me and my colleagues. I cannot begin to fathom the damage these layoffs will do to Miami, to Florida, and to a country that desperately needs real local journalism.
