Newspapers Going Green

• The Miami Herald has made dramatic improvements
  to produce products with limited impact on the
  environment.
• Every Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald is
  produced using recycled newsprint.
• We reduced the width of the newspaper saving
  substantial newsprint.
• Our new platemaking system used to create the
  newspaper image eliminates the use of film in the
  process and therefore silver - making production
  much more environmentally friendly.
• Even our facility has been upgraded with new
  controls to help manage the electrical load and
  upgraded plumbing that replaces inefficient water
  faucets and better manages our hot water system.
• We are embracing the shift from print to digital
  by making our products available online with
  added features.
• In the Fall of 2008, The Miami Herald made the
  leap to convert all NIE circulation copies from
  print to digital newspapers.
