Is it true that Bitcoin miners earn newly issued bitcoin and transaction fees for adding verified blocks to the blockchain?

Yes. One peer-reviewed paper states that a Bitcoin miner who solves proof of work receives a reward equal to the sum of transaction fees in the block plus an amount of newly issued bitcoin. Other sources partially cover the claim, confirming miners earn transaction fees or are compensated for verifying blocks, but not both components together.
