Overview Miami’s oldest surviving newspaper, known today as The Miami Herald, provides an unmatched record of daily life in South Florida. From the region’s early struggles to attract permanent residents to its explosive economic growth, the Herald captures booms and busts in astounding detail, offering valuable teaching and research opportunities for students and faculty in nearly every academic discipline. Providing The Miami Herald historical archive as part of the most comprehensive aggregated news resource in the world creates a seamless continuum of coverage from the early 20th century to today.

Firsthand perspectives of Sunshine State historyFounded when Miami’s population was less than 5,500, The Miami Herald evolved with the south Florida city, offering detailed coverage of the development of Bayfront Park and the East Coast Railway to the Keys, as well as the Everglades Reclamation Project and the rise of the aviation industry. The Herald quickly became one of the most respected newspapers in the region. By the 1920s, Miami was growing faster than any other city in America, and the Herald covered all of the elements that fueled its growth – notably, the expansion of tourism, industry and agriculture.

Pulitzer Prize-winning paper and Spanish-language coverageThe Herald staff has won 20 Pulitzer Prizes; the first was awarded in 1951 for its coverage of U.S. Senate hearings on Miami’s gambling parlors. The paper’s most notable columnists have included political commentator Leonard Pitts, Jr., journalist Mirta Ojito, humorist Dave Barry and novelist Carl Hiassen.

The Miami Herald has built a strong reputation for its international reporting from the Caribbean and Latin America. In 1976, the paper began providing Spanish-language coverage in a supplemental insert, first known as El Herald and later renamed El Nuevo Herald. El Nuevo Herald became an independent publication, and this historical archive is available from NewsBank.
