The @MiamiHerald eliminated 30 positions today including excellent City of Miami beat reporter @tessriski & legend @kaufsports.
The Miami Beach beat reporter was open but won’t be filled.
Is the Miami Herald going to cover the City of Miami anymore?
Local journalism matters.

more words later, but it's been an adventure and I'm sending all the love to my colleagues today ❤️

In terms of combined wind and rain impacts in Biscayne Park, this no-name storm is a close second behind Irma (2017) since I moved here in early 2012. Power is off and on, internet is out, water main breaks, etc. This was a very significant event. @NWSMiami

Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who popularized beach bum soft rock with the escapist Caribbean-flavored song “Margaritaville” and turned that celebration of loafing into an empire of restaurants, resorts and frozen concoctions, has died. He was 76.
