Hawaii Tribune-Herald is a daily newspaper based in Hilo, Hawaii. It is owned and published by Oahu Publications, a subsidiary of Black Press.
The Hilo Tribune began publication on November 23, 1895, and changed its name to the Hilo Daily Tribune in 1917.[2] The Hilo Daily Tribune, the Hawaii Herald (August 13, 1896 – February 22, 1923) and the Daily Post-Herald merged to form the Hilo Tribune-Herald, which began publishing on February 19, 1923. It continued under that name until March 1964, when it assumed its present title.[2]
In 1962, the newspaper began publication of a weekly special edition for the west (Kona) side of the island, which later became West Hawaii Today, now published daily.
With the demise of the Hawaii Island Journal in June 2008, Tribune-Herald owner Stephens Media Group ran all the commercial newspapers on the island including the Big Island Weekly.[3] Big Island Weekly published its last issue in July 2014.
On October 1, 2014, Oahu Publications, the publisher of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser announced it was buying the Hawaii Tribune-Herald and West Hawaii Today from Stephens Media.[4]
