Miami.com covered standoff at own paper
Steve Safran November 24th, 2006
A strange standoff at the Miami Herald is over, apparently safely, after about three hours today. The paper’s site, Miami.com, managed to cover the standoff even though the Herald building was evacuated. Jose Verela, a freelance cartoonist for El Nuevo Herald (owned by the Miami Herald) who claimed the paper censored his work, entered the building with a gun and took over an editor’s office. The building was evacuated, and nobody was hurt. Police negotiated a peaceful end to the standoff. The Miami Herald website did a great job updating the story and even put up a bunch of examples of Varela’s work, well before the standoff ended.

This isn’t related to the post, but I couldn’t figure out a better place to put this.
Today the station I work at didn’t want to air the network programming because that would have blown out our evening newscasts. So they put it on the other station which we run. Is that even remotely kosher? To air one networks programming on another?
