called, "

Journalists for Jim DeFede

" -- link:

http://journalistsfordefede.blogspot.com/

saying, among other things that,

(snip)
..."...we are concerned that Jim�s willingness in the past to offend powerful figures in Miami and, at times, his own employers, may have contributed to the hasty decision to fire him. We believe that Jim�s determination to be a voice for the poor and powerless in Miami makes him an asset to the community and to The Herald, even if his words may at times make some people uncomfortable."

impressive list of signators to the open letter to Miami Herald Publisher Jesus Diaz and Executive Editor Tom Fiedler

check it out...

There is also this other site called SAVE JIM DeFEDE --you may want to check it out too.

im not surprised that the corporate herald didnt have the guts or integrity to keep him.

i cancelled my subscription to that fishwrapper years ago. jim was one of the few decent writers among many.

ok sent the herald an email and signed the petition.
