In 1903, Frank B.

During the [[Florida land boom of the 1920s]], the ''Miami Herald'' was the largest newspaper in the world, as measured by lines of advertising.<ref>{{cite book|last=Smiley|first=Nixon|title=Knights of the Fourth Estate: The Story of the Miami Herald|location=Miami|publisher=E.

On October 25, 1939, [[John S. Knight]], son of a noted [[Ohio]] newspaperman, bought the ''Herald'' from Frank B. Shutts. Knight became editor and publisher, and made his brother, [[James L. Knight]], the business manager. The ''Herald'' had 383 employees. [[Lee Hills (journalist)|Lee Hills]] arrived as city editor in September 1942. He later became the ''Herald''{{'}}s publisher and eventually the chairman of [[Knight Ridder|Knight-Ridder Inc.]], a position he held until 1981.
The ''Herald'' was also involved in its first [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] Supreme Court case, [[Pennekamp v. Florida]] 328 U.S. 331 (1946), in which it and one of its editors, [[John D. Pennekamp]] for whom [[John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park]] is named for, were held in [[contempt of court]] by the [[Circuit court (Florida)|Dade County Circuit Court]] for two publications it made on November 2 and November 7 in 1944, both of which were critical of the court's operations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ville |first=John R. |date=January 1, 2009 |title=Pennekamp v.

''The Miami Herald International Edition'', printed by partner newspapers throughout the [[Caribbean]] and [[Latin America]], began in 1946. It is commonly available at resorts in the Caribbean countries such as the [[Dominican Republic]], and, though printed by the largest local newspaper ''[[Listín Diario]]'', it is not available outside such tourist areas.

On July 27, 2005, former Miami city commissioner [[Arthur Teele]] walked into the main lobby of the ''Herald''{{'}}s headquarters and phoned ''Herald'' columnist Jim DeFede, one of several telephone conversations that the two had had during the day, to say that he had a package for DeFede.
