Something in the Fla. Water?

I must inquire with my colleagues at UCF and UF, but two really interesting, albeit south Florida journalism tiffs.

First, FIU's beat reporter leaves in more than a huff; he sets the Miami Herald on figurative fire with a scathing blog post that didn't last so on on the newspapers website. But of course, it got archived off here (don't panic, it really is a JPEG screen capture).

Second, over at Florida Atlantic, a former campus newspaperman provides a thought-provoking screed that college newspapers that are on-line lack punch because, well, the journalists involved get off on the banner head, not the splash page screen.
