The Miami Herald published an article Tuesday including new emails which provide more evidence a former Miami Herald reporter had an affair with a school administrator she covered while employed by the Miami Herald.New e-mails have surfaced that appear to further implicate new Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho in a romantic relationship with a former Miami Herald reporter -- only days before the School Board is expected to vote on Carvalho's $275,000 contract.
Carvalho, a longtime school district administrator, has repeatedly denied any romance with former Herald education reporter Tania deLuzuriaga, who covered the Miami-Dade schools from October 2006 to September 2007. He has described their relationship as friendly but professional.
But new e-mails sent anonymously to The Herald suggest a more intimate relationship. In one purported message on July 18, 2007 -- which the school district said it could not authenticate -- Carvalho appears to tell deLuzuriaga: ''I love and miss you too,'' in response to a message from her.
A message that appears to be sent from Carvalho's BlackBerry on Sept. 20, 2007, says: ''Good morning love.'' The message was dated six days after deLuzuriaga resigned from The Herald to take a job at the Boston Globe.
Carvalho, 44, issued a statement Monday calling the latest e-mails a distraction and a ''personal attack.'' He did not specifically address whether the messages were authentic.
A "distraction"? Since when did bringing up legitimate issues become a distraction? Maybe Carvalho is taking his cues from this guy. It looks like the reporter's career in journalism is finished, but Carvalho is poised to get a high-paying position -- even though it's obvious he hasn't come clean about the relationship. That doesn't seem right.
