The Plainview Herald, originally published as the Plainview Daily Herald is a daily newspaper in Plainview, Texas. The newspaper is published in the nation's largest cotton-growing region and on the edge of the nation's heaviest concentration of cattle-feeding and beef-packing operations.
The newspaper is owned by Hearst Corporation, which also owns other magazines and media outlets, such as the San Francisco Chronicle and the Houston Chronicle. According to Hearst, the newspaper was acquired by the corporation in 1979.
In 1994, the Herald became one of the first Texas newspapers its size to be fully computer paginated, and shortly thereafter began delivering full-color front-page layouts daily.
In 2011, the newspaper stopped delivery of its Monday edition, no longer making it a "daily" newspaper. The "daily" has been dropped from the name, making it now Plainview Herald.
