In media news, the Miami Herald has reversed its decision to fire three journalists caught taking payments from the US government. The announcement came as the newspaper’s publisher, Jesus Diaz Jr., said he is stepping down because the controversy in the scandal has prevented him from doing his job. The journalists were fired last month after it was disclosed they received money for doing work on the U.S. government-run Radio Marti and TV Marti. The anti-Castro stations are beamed into Cuba but its broadcasts are prohibited in this country due to laws than bar state propaganda. The Herald says its re-hiring the journalists because it did not properly communicate its policies on conflict of interest and taking outside payments. The re-hiring follows an intense lobbying campaign from Cuban exile groups in support of the fired journalists.
