The Herald is a nationwide mid-market tabloid newspaper headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, and published by Independent News & Media who are a subsidiary of Mediahuis.[1] It is published Monday–Saturday. The newspaper was known as the Evening Herald until its name was changed in 2013.
History
[edit]The Evening Herald was first published in Dublin on 19 December 1891.[2]
In 1982 the paper changed its size from broadsheet to tabloid.[citation needed]
Until November 2000, the Evening Herald was produced and pressed in Independent House on Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1.[citation needed] The monochrome printing facility in the basement of this building was then retired, and the paper is now printed in full colour at a purpose-built plant in Citywest, along with the Irish Independent, the Sunday Independent and various other regional newspapers owned by Independent News & Media. In 2004, production of the paper was moved from Independent House to a new office on Talbot Street and the paper's old home was sold to the neighbouring department store, Arnotts, for an estimated €26 million.[citation needed]
The life of Herald music critic Chris Wasser was threatened by fans of boy band The Wanted in 2012 following the publication of his review of their gig in Dublin.[3]
In March 2013, it was reported that the Evening Herald was to be renamed The Herald and would become a morning rather than an evening newspaper.[4]
In March 2017, it was announced that INM were merging the Sunday World and The Herald newsrooms.[5]
In October 2020, Independent News & Media announced that they would not longer be supporting the Herald website and would merge the Herald newsroom with the INM newsroom.[6]
In 2023, it was reported that Mediahuis were no longer investing in The Herald and it was being left to "sink or swim".[7]
Herald AM
[edit]On 10 October 2005, a free version of the Evening Herald, published in the mornings and entitled Herald AM, began distribution, as a defensive measure against the Daily Mail and General Trust-owned Metro, launched on the same date. It joined with another morning freesheet Metro to become the Metro Herald. Herald AM later closed.[citation needed]
