Access to online archives

The Miami Herald and other former Knight Ridder newspapers have been recently added to the archive search at KeepMedia. The archives are also searchable on FindArticles, linking back to KeepMedia in most cases.
In both places, some articles are available for free, some by subscription. KeepMedia's fee is $4.95/month for as many articles as you need.

Of course the entire archive of the papers, including the Herald back to 1982 or 1983, is still available through each newspaper's Website, such as MiamiHerald.com , or all of them at NewsLibrary. (And if you have a library card, you may be able to search the articles for free, such as at the Miami-Dade Public Library's site.)
