From the Associated Press (Wednesday, August 11, 2004): “The Miami Herald pulled its daily features magazine from Tuesday’s editions because it contained what could have been perceived as racially insensitive content, the newspaper said. The concern was over a headline that was juxtaposed over an illustration for a story on Olympic athletes and doping. The headline ‘How They Will Cheat’ was placed over an illustration of a bulked-up athlete with a dark complexion. ‘The magazine Tropical Life had an editorial production issue that could have been perceived by some readers as being racially insensitive,’ said Tom Fiedler, the Herald’s executive editor.”
