Coverage of Contra Activities
The Herald documented the Contra support network's operations in Miami, where Danilo Blandón and other Contra-connected figures maintained businesses and political organizations. The newspaper reported on Aristides Sánchez's activities in Miami, including his role in buying supplies and delivering weapons for the FDN. The Herald's reporting from Miami provided a local perspective on the national story of Contra-connected drug trafficking, complementing the West Coast coverage that later appeared in the Dark Alliance series.2
