As life changes dramatically amid coronavirus outbreak, your news never stops

MIAMI HERALD – 20/03/2020

Craig Forman McClatchy President and CEO

Like many Americans around the country, your McClatchy team covering essential local news here and across the U.S. has seen our daily routines and rhythms derailed by the coronavirus outbreak. Daily life in our communities is slowing — in some cases to a virtual standstill — as we all do what we can to limit the dangerous spread of this pandemic.

Facebook users around the globe began to notice something strange happening on their feeds Tuesday night.
