Miami Herald forms partnership to cover Summit of the Americas
http://www.miamiherald.com/summit/story/991478.htmlThe Miami Herald and Trinidad's leading newspaper are teaming up for coverage of the fifth Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain next week.
The Miami Herald and One Caribbean Media -- which includes the Trinidad Express newspaper, CCN TV6, Barbados' Nation Publishing, the Grenada Broadcasting Corp. and the Barbados-based Caribbean Media Network radio station -- will share news reports throughout the summit.
The summit will convene the hemisphere's 34 leaders, including President Barack Obama, April 17-19.
''Working with a paper that knows the area gives us an advantage,'' said Anders Gyllenhaal, executive editor of The Miami Herald. ``It doubles your strength. . . . We bring understanding of the region -- the sweep -- and they have a much more on-the-ground view.''
Under terms of the agreement, The Miami Herald and One Caribbean Media will share all summit content, produce daily website videos, make key columnists such as Andrés Oppenheimer of The Miami Herald and Keith Smith of the Trinidad Express available for interviews and special programming.
Sunity Maharaj, OCM's group executive of editorial development, said the partnership provides ``the best possible coverage to Caribbean and U.S. audiences of this historic summit in Port of Spain.''
I'm sure that with "key columnists such as Andrés Oppenheimer of The Miami Herald and Keith Smith of the Trinidad Express" we'll be getting the straight story. :eyes:
