About City News Miami

Miami is not one city and never has been. It is Little Haiti and Allapattah, Coral Way and Overtown, the Beach and the neighborhoods most visitors never cross a causeway to see. City News Miami covers all of it at the level of the block: who opened a shop on Northwest Second Avenue, which park is finally getting lights, what the commission voted on Tuesday, and what that vote will cost the people living two streets away.

Profiles are the backbone of this paper. We would rather spend a morning with the woman who has run the same bakery on Calle Ocho for thirty-one years than rewrite a press release about the block she anchors. Reporters attend meetings, knock on doors and put names on the record. Developer handouts do not run as news, restaurant coverage is never bought, and corrections appear at the top of a story rather than the bottom of the site.

Community carries reporting from the neighborhoods themselves: schools, parks, safety, transit and the residents organizing around all four. Events lists what is happening this weekend across the county, not only downtown. Business profiles the shops, restaurants and small operators keeping storefronts occupied. Culture covers galleries, murals, music and the traditions this city was built on. Miami News runs the daily file from city and county government, and Business News follows the deals, openings and closings that change a street's character.

The paper is published by VUGA Media Group, a member title of the VUGA Enterprises Network.
