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 paper was known as the Evening Herald until its name was changed in 2013.

History

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. It is also set to 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]

Digital archive

The Evening Herald is available on the Irish Newspaper Archives website; up to 2004 you will only find "Black-And-White" microfilm pages but since 2005 the pages of the Evening Herald online in colour.[citation needed]

The paper is also online at Herald.ie.[citation needed]

Up to 2009 online at British Newspaper Archive.[citation needed]

Herald AM

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]
