from the Miami News, July 29, 1966: News and Herald sign agreement

The Miami News has concluded an agreement to have its newspaper printed and distributed by the Miami Herald.
[...]
[James M.] Cox, [publisher of the Miami News] said: "To make certain that Miami in the future will not be a city where only one newspaper voice speaks, The News and The Herald have signed an agreement ...

from the Miami Herald, May, 27, 2011: Miami Herald parent company McClatchy sells land for $236 million.

Asia’s third largest casino company is paying $236 million for the 14 acres of waterfront land surrounding The Miami Herald, a deal that means a new home for the publishing company and a major new player in downtown Miami’s development boom.
[...]
The Herald’s parent company, McClatchy, announced the sale and said both The Miami Herald and El Neuvo Herald would move to another location within two years. Until then, the papers can operate in the current waterfront building for two years. The building also houses Brown Mackie college, which presumably would relocate as well.

The deal brings an infusion of cash for the Sacramento-based company, which has met declining advertising revenues with staff cuts at its newspapers across the country, including the Herald. McClatchy will use the $163 million from the sale to bolster the company’s pension plan and $65 million to pay down debt. The remaining $2 million will be used to pay for taxes associated with the sale.
