UPDATE on earlier post

I posted Saturday about the decision by FIU in Florida not to issue press credentials to the Miami Herald beat reporter, saying that the move was part of a larger trend in which organizations use access to punish reporters for coverage that is perceived as negative.

Today, as reported in the Herald and tweeted by Jim Romenesko, FIU has issued credentials to the reporter. Good call.
