History edit
The paper was founded in 1904 as the Joliet Herald. In 1913, its founder, Ira Clifton Copley, purchased the Joliet News, a paper that had been founded in 1877. In 1915, the two papers were merged producing the Herald-News. In 2000, Copley Press sold the publication to Hollinger International (later the Sun-Times Media Group). In 2013, Sun-Times sold the Herald News to Shaw Media, parent company of the Northwest Herald.[1]
Distribution edit
The Herald-News is printed early at one of its parent-company's facilities in Chicago, driven to Northwest Indiana and distributed based on delivery region.
