It is the third-largest newspaper in Illinois (behind the [[Chicago Tribune]] and [[Chicago Sun-Times]]).<ref name=about/> ==History== The ''Daily Herald'' was founded in 1872 as the "''Cook County Herald"''. It was initially tailored to the business needs of the then-rural northwestern portion of [[Cook County, Illinois\|Cook County]]. Hosea C. Paddock, a former teacher, bought the newspaper in 1889 for $175. His sons, Stuart and Charles, took over the paper in 1920 and renamed it the "''Arlington Heights Herald"'' in 1926. For its first century, it was a weekly publication.<ref name=Encyc>{{Cite web\|url=http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/357.html\|title=Daily Herald\|website=www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org\|access-date=2017-02-16}}</ref> In 1898, Hosea Paddock bought the ''Palatine Enterprise,''. Over the ~~first~~years, ofthe ~~many~~Paddocks ~~purchases of~~bought newspapers in ~~the~~[[Mount ~~northern~~Prospect, ~~suburbs~~Illinois\|Mount byProspect]], ~~the~~[[Bensenville, ~~Paddock~~Illinois\|Bensenville]], [[Roselle, Illinois\|Roselle]] and [[Wheeling, Illinois\|Wheeling]].<ref ~~family~~name="dailyherald.com"/> The ''Daily Herald'' counts 1898 as its founding date. The paper grew along with northwestern Cook County after World War II, as four-lane highways and the expansion of the [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company\|Chicago & North Western]]'s commuter rail line in the northwest suburbs (now the [[Union Pacific/Northwest Line]]) turned it into a suburban area. It became a tri-weekly in 1967.<ref name=Encyc/> The paper's real growth began in 1968, when Stuart Paddock, Jr. took over the paper. A year later, the paper began publishing five days a week. This move came almost out of necessity; [[Field Communications]], publisher of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'', had introduced its "Daily" papers for the northern suburbs in 1966. A brutal one-year circulation war ensued, ending in 1970 when Field pulled out of the area. That year, the paper dropped Arlington Heights from its masthead after merging with its sister publications and expanding into Lake County. It began publishing on Saturdays in 1975. It became the ''Daily Herald'' in 1977 and began publishing on Sundays in 1978. During the second half of the 1980s, it expanded into DuPage, Kane and McHenry counties. Its growth has continued to this day. Stuart Paddock, Jr. died in 2002.<ref>Hepp, Rick (April 16, 2002).
