The Hermiston Herald is a weekly paper published on Wednesdays in Hermiston, Oregon, United States, since 1906.[2]
The Herald was founded by Horace Greeley Newport and William Skinner in 1906.[3]
G. M. "Jerry" Reed bought a minority ownership stake in the paper in 1969 and became the sole owner in 1974.[4] He merged his company with Eagle Newspapers in a stock-for-stock exchange in 1979.[5] [6] Reed sold his interests in the company in 1984 and would run the paper until selling it to Western Communications in 1992.
Reed was posthumously inducted into the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association's hall of fame in 2017.[7] [8]
In 2008, the newspaper was purchased by EO Media Group (formerly known as the East Oregonian Publishing Company).[9] In June 2024, EO Media Group announced The Hermiston Herald will cease print publication and go online-only. All print subscribers will instead receive the East Oregonian, published weekly and including news from The Hermiston Herald's website.[10] [11]
