The Calgary Herald is a
daily Calgary, Alberta newspaper.
Its major competitor is The Calgary Sun.
The Calgary Herald was first published on
August 31, 1883 by Andrew Armour and Thomas Braden as The Calgary
Herald, Mining and Ranche Advocate and General Advertiser. It started as
a weekly paper with only four pages created on a handpress.
The
operation was small, with a tent by the junction of the Bow and Elbow
rivers serving as the office. In 1885 the Herald became a daily but it
wasn't until fall 1983 that it was published 7 days a week. Until April
1985 it was an afternoon paper but it is now delivered in the mornings.
In November 2000, the Herald became part of the Southam Newspapers (now
Canwest News Service division of CanWest Global Communications.
The Calgary Herald also publishes
Neighbours, a weekly community newspaper that is distributed with the
Herald in some (but not all) parts of Calgary. In the spring of 2005,
the Herald joined several other CanWest Global affiliates in launching
Dose, a free daily newspaper targeted at 20-something commuters.
In November 2000 The Calgary Herald became part of the Southam
Publications division of CanWest Global Communications. |
