In 1982 the paper changed its size frombroadsheettotabloid.[citation needed]
Until November 2000, theEvening Heraldwas produced and pressed in Independent House on Middle Abbey Street,Dublin 1.[citation needed]Themonochromeprinting facility in the basement of this building was then retired, and the paper is now printed in full colour at a purpose-built plant in Citywest, along with theIrish Independent,theSunday Independentand various other regional newspapers owned by Independent News & Media. In 2004, production of the paper was moved from Independent House to a new office on Talbot Street and the paper's old home was sold to the neighbouring department store,Arnotts,for an estimated €26 million.[citation needed]
The life ofHeraldmusic critic Chris Wasser was threatened by fans of boy bandThe Wantedin 2012 following the publication of his review of their gig in Dublin.[3]
