Mexico Edition Of 'Miami Herald' Folding Friday
 Mark Fitzgerald - editorandpublisher.com
The Mexico edition of The Miami Herald, Mexico City's only English-language daily, is folding on June 1, the paper announced.
"Unfortunately due to economic considerations the paper will close until further notice," the paper said in a note to readers. There was no further information on the shuttering.
The paper was launched four years ago in a partnership with the big Mexico City daily El Universal. It was not clear who made the decision to pull the plug on the Herald. A McClatchy Co. spokesperson said he had no information on that. Officials involved with the newspaper at the Herald and El Universal could not be reached.
The Herald was launched two months after a Mexican-owned English-language daily, The Mexico City News, was shut down after 53 years of publication.
Mark Fitzgerald (mfitzgerald@editorandpublisher.com) is E&P's editor-at-large.
Farewell
El Universal
We would like to express our appreciation to the loyal readers and supporters of The Herald Mexico who have given us the opportunity to serve you during the past four years and three months.
In our daily eight-page supplement, we have tried to bring you the most concise, up-to-date, and balanced news about Mexico. We’ve also sought to provide a greater insight into the political, social and cultural life of this fascinating and complex country.
The newspaper industry worldwide is currently going through important changes. In many instances, economic pressures have forced publications to go under or make drastic changes to stay afloat. The Herald Mexico is no exception.
There is a definite need for an English-language publication in Mexico that serves expats, tourists and Mexicans who either speak or want to perfect their English.
We hope this message will not be a definitive adios. |
