The Borger News–Herald is a newspaper based in Borger, Texas, covering the Hutchinson County area of West Texas. Owned by Horizon Publications Inc., it publishes Monday through Saturday.
The newspaper was founded as the Hutchinson County Herald in 1926[2] by David M. Warren Sr., who sold it to oilman Roy Whittenburg in 1946. In 1956, Whittenburg sold it to his brother-in-law, W. Glynn Morris. After Morris' retirement in 1977, Jimmy Allison became publisher[3]
In 1978, Donrey Media Group bought the paper and Donald W.
