3 Florida papers extend content-sharing deal

The three largest newspapers in south Florida are about to expand their content-sharing deal, according to Editor & Publisher.
Part of the expansion will be the inclusion of Florida International University students, who will be able to work at one of the papers and publish stories that can appear in all three.

The news service to be run out of classrooms at FIU's School of Journalism and Mass Communication formalizes even further the news content-sharing arrangement between the Sun Sentinel, The Miami Herald, and The Palm Beach Post that was launched in late August. Under that arrangement, the three dailies can publish stories from each other's print newspaper and online news sites.

The students will focus mostly on local coverage, including courts, police, and local government.
