The Miami Herald's publisher resigned Tuesday, saying "ambiguously communicated" personnel policies resulted in the firings of three journalists.
"No company enjoys publicly reversing a decision it made, but the sign of a really good and honorable company is one that can reflect on its actions, consider additional data and sometimes come to a new conclusion, and that's exactly what we did," Landsberg told The Associated Press.
Diaz said he believed the journalists' acceptance of payments "was a breach of widely accepted principles of journalistic ethics."
He said no one would be allowed in the future to accept money from government-run broadcasters, and conflict-of-interest policies would be strengthened.
