[4] On June 4, 1923, former Ohio governor James M. Cox bought the Metropolis and renamed it the Miami Daily News-Metropolis.

In 1966, the Miami News moved in with the Knight Ridder-owned One Herald Plaza, sharing production facilities with its morning rival while maintaining a separate editorial staff.

[9] A 30-year joint operating agreement inked in 1966 made the Herald responsible for all non-editorial aspects of production, including circulation, advertising and promotion.

Citing losses of $9 million per year, declining circulation, from 112,000 in 1966 to 48,000 in 1988 while households in the Dade County area grew 80 percent, Cox put the paper on the market in the fall of 1988.

[13] Notable former employees include writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Dorothy Misener Jurney, journalist and author Helen Muir, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Don Wright, Boston Globe columnist Adrian Walker, photographer Michael O'Brien, columnist John Keasler, and best-selling author Dary Matera, who served as a general assignment reporter from 1977 until 1982.
