Can you get featured in Miami Herald?
South Florida’s leading daily newspaper, with deep reach into Miami’s business, civic and cultural life.
The Miami Herald covers Miami and South Florida: local government, business, real estate, sports, food, arts and news from Latin America and the Caribbean. Coverage from a pitch alone usually goes to major employers, public officials, large developments and breaking news, not to growing local businesses. A guaranteed placement works differently: it is arranged with the publication before any writing starts, you sign off on the draft, and it goes live on miamiherald.com within a window stated in writing, usually one week. It is a real article on the site that you can put in a proposal, a deck or a profile.
What Miami Herald covers
The Miami Herald is the principal daily newspaper for Miami-Dade and the wider South Florida region, with a newsroom that has won Pulitzer Prizes for its reporting. It covers local and state government, business and real estate, tourism, immigration, education, weather and hurricanes, professional and college sports, restaurants, arts and entertainment. Its coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean is among the strongest of any American newspaper.
The voice is that of a metropolitan daily: factual, direct and written for a diverse, bilingual region. Stories that belong in the Miami Herald have a clear local stake, such as a company hiring in South Florida, a restaurant or hotel opening, a founder who relocated to Miami, a development changing a neighborhood, a nonprofit meeting a community need, or an artist with roots in the city.
Who reads Miami Herald
Miami Herald readers are the people who live, work and invest in South Florida: homeowners, professionals, business owners, real estate buyers, public officials, educators and retirees across Miami-Dade and Broward. Many have family or business ties to Latin America and the Caribbean. They read it for local accountability, for decisions about where to live and spend, and for news from home.
For a South Florida business or professional, a Miami Herald feature is the local credential that customers, lenders, landlords, city officials and partners already trust. It is useful on a storefront wall, in a loan or lease conversation, in a proposal to a municipal or corporate client, and with customers in Latin America who know the Herald name.

What makes a story pitch-ready for Miami Herald
Herald readers expect facts, a local stake and a reason the story matters now.
A daily newspaper audience wants news value, so a feature works when it answers the basic questions quickly: who, what, where in South Florida and why now. Concrete details do the work, including the neighborhood, the number of jobs, the opening date, the people served. Ties to the region’s Latin American and Caribbean communities often strengthen the story.
We weigh the angles below against your timing. Owners tend to describe what they sell, while a Herald reader is more interested in what the business means for the community.
What weakens a pitch
- No South Florida tie. A company with no local office, customers or project gives Herald readers no reason to care.
- Sales copy. Newspaper readers distrust promotion, so the piece has to inform them first and let the facts persuade.
- Numbers without a source. Job counts, revenue and rankings get scrutinized, and everything we write must be true.
- Nothing new. A business that has not changed lately needs a milestone, a launch or a community effort to anchor the story.
