After an onslaught of backlash, the Herald apologized this week and promised to never again run the insert, which the paper’s editors now say had actually included anti-Semitic and racist articles for months. ADADAminda Marqués González, executive editor and publisher of the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald, and Nancy San Martín, el Nuevo Herald’s managing editor, said neither had read the insert before publishing it, a fact they called “distressing” in an open letter to readers on Monday. ADADEl Nuevo Herald had been running the Libre insert since at least January. Marqués and San Martín said they spent last weekend going through past editions of Libre and were “appalled” by the content, which “would never meet our editorial standards at el Nuevo Herald and the Miami Herald,” the editors wrote. The editors said they found the paper doesn’t have any review process in place for content inside paid supplements.
