A new way to get the latest news in your Miami Herald morning edition
Finding different ways to deliver the news that matters to our community has always been a priority for the Miami Herald.
From our newsletters and breaking news alerts to our podcast options and videos, we continue to deliver the stories you want to read, see and hear.
At the core of our mission is providing you with the information you need to start your day, with the news that matters to you, when it matters to you. You asked us to find ways to deliver late breaking news and final game stories for our local teams in the next day’s edition, and we heard you loud and clear.
Last week, we launched an upgraded eEdition that allows us to bring you the latest information every morning. When you open the digital print replica edition, using the link in your morning email, you will see a new set of pages with those local late game stories and other important, late-breaking news.
With the flurry of late legislation being passed in Tallahassee and signed into law in the coming days, we will bring you those stories in this upgraded eEdition, no matter how late things go in the Legislature.
On Wednesday, the Miami Heat was playing for the right to advance to the next round of the NBA playoffs. The game didn’t end until after 12:30 a.m., but through this new effort, in the morning edition, we provided an up-to-date, analytical view of the Heat’s rally from a double-digit, fourth-quarter deficit to propel the team past the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and into the second round.
You also received coverage of the Florida Panthers’ thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of their series. And, sadly, the Miami Marlins’ 6-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
In addition, starting next week, we will bring back our regular front-page look for our Wednesday print edition. This will give us the opportunity to provide you with more front-page stories on a wider variety of topics.
We will continue to run deep takeouts and investigative pieces during the week, but we will reserve the longer packages for Sunday, when you might have more time to sit down and dig in to the biggest, most important stories in our community.
One great example is Alex Harris’ story about combating sea rise in South Florida. On the heels of the devastating flooding in Fort Lauderdale recently, climate change, how it affects flooding, what our local authorities are doing and how it might affect you is a topic of great importance for our community.
Sunday’s story discusses Miami-Dade’s plan of building new structures atop more fill as a key to combating sea-rise changes. But what about those of us who live in older homes on lower ground? Harris takes a look at what the future might hold. And don’t miss Nicolas Rivero’s companion piece on what you need to know to protect your South Florida home from floods.
We have always been here covering the issues of most importance to you. Now, we have more ways to bring you more news. If you haven’t activated your eEdition, now is a great time.
Do you have other suggestions for us? I want to know what matters to you and understand how we can best serve you. You can reach me at amena@miamiherald.com. I hope to hear from you, and I thank you for being a loyal subscriber to the Miami Herald.
Alex Mena is the interim executive editor of the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald.
