US 'paid anti-Cuba journalists'
At least 10 Florida-based journalists were paid by the US government to contribute to anti-Cuba propaganda broadcasts, the Miami Herald says.
Three writers have been sacked by the Miami Herald newspaper group for an alleged conflict of interest.
One was paid $175,000 (£98,000) for hosting shows on the US-funded channels TV and Radio Marti, the paper says.
The channels are broadcast to Cuba but their programmes cannot be transmitted in the US under anti-propaganda laws.
Pablo Alfonso, who writes an opinion column for El Nuevo Herald, the Spanish-language sister paper of the Miami Herald, was paid almost $175,000 to present TV and radio programmes.
The paper's reporter Wilfredo Cancio Isla was paid $15,000 and freelancer Olga Connor $71,000.
All were sacked by the Herald.
None made any comment.
Jesus Diaz Jr, president of Miami Herald Media, said the payments violated a ''sacred trust'' between journalists and the public.
