In 1976 The Miami Herald began to publish a Spanish language supplemental insert named El Herald. In 1987 Roberto Suárez was named as the supplement's first independent publisher, and the paper was re-launched as El Nuevo Herald. Still available only to readers of the English language Herald, the paper didn't become a separate product until 1998.[3]
On September 8, 2006, president of the McClatchy group Jesús Díaz Jr. fired three El Nuevo Herald journalists because they had allegedly been paid by the United States Government to work in anti-Cuba propaganda TV and radio channels. The three were Pablo Alfonso, Wilfredo Cancio Isla and Olga Connor.[4]. Less than a month later, and following the pressure of the Cuban-American community in Miami, Díaz resigned after reinstating the fired journalists. Nevertheless, he continues to claim that such payments, especially if coming from the state, violate the principles of journalistic independence[5].
Jesus Diaz Jr. was the Publisher for The Miami Herald, not the President of the McClatchy Company-(The Miami Herald's parent company), as stated above. He was responsible for the firing of Wilfredo Cancio Isla, Pablo Alfonso and Olga Connor, three Cuban-American Journalist working at El Nuevo Herald, and also freelancing for Radio/TV Marti, a U.S. Goverment News Agency. The three journalist in question had prior approval from Carlos Castaneda, the Executive Editor for the El Nuevo Herald at the time, but has since passed away. He was replaced by Humberto Castello, the current Executive Editor. Mr Diaz swift firing of the three journalist was considered as "too swift" a decision. Mr. Diaz apparently did not inquire from the journalist if permission was given to them by their supervisor at the time. Mr. Diaz was then instructed by his superiors at The McClatchy Company to re-hire the three in question, for the simple reason that freelancing for Radio/TV Marti was in fact, previously authorized. Their was no proof what so ever of the accusation that there was outside pressures to re-hire the journalist. After the reinstatement of the journalist, Jesus Diaz Jr. resigns as publisher of the Miami Herald, while claiming that "he has lost control of the newspaper", that he was hired to manage.
