Time to help our friends at the Herald

Yesterday we learned that the Miami Herald has become perhaps the first newspaper in the country to ask readers for voluntary donations to help subsidize its Web site.

We all know how the Herald and other newspapers got themselves in this predicament so there's no sense in rehashing it here.

But we're as community-minded as the next person so we're stepping up and doing our part.

Random Pixels has installed a tip jar in the right hand column of this blog.

All you have to do is click on the image and you'll be directed to a page on the Herald's Web site where you can make a donation.

If the Herald goes away we're left with Channel 7...so that should be enough motivation by itself to donate.

It's the least we can do.
