History
[edit]The earliest predecessor of theDaily Herald,theProvo Daily Times,was founded in 1873. It was the first newspaper to be published in Provo, when Utah was still a frontier territory. The paper eventually changed its name to theEnquirer,and then to theProvo Post.A competitor, theUtah County Democrat,was founded in 1898 and renamed theProvo Heraldin 1909. In 1924 theProvo Postand theProvo Heraldmerged, forming a final foundation for the laterDaily Herald.[Note 1]The company was purchased in 1926 by James G. Scripps, eldest son of newspaper magnateE. W. Scripps.Scripps League Newspapersheld the newspaper until 1996, when it was sold toPulitzer,which held it for almost a decade.[9]In 2005 Pulitzer was sold toLee Enterprises.[2]
In February 2009, theDaily Heraldannounced it would discontinue five weekly papers that had covered northern Utah County: theAmerican Fork Citizen,Pleasant Grove Review,Lehi Free Press,Lone Peak PressandOrem Times.[10][11]Subscribers to those papers, which were published every Thursday and had a combined circulation of 5,800, instead began receiving Thursday issues of the Herald, leading to a higher subscription count that day. At that time the weekly papers in southern Utah County were not affected. However, by January 2011, it announced that it would entirely discontinue the weekly newspapers that covered southern Utah County (Springville Herald,Spanish Fork Press,andNebo Reporter) and incorporate their content into daily publication of theDaily Herald.[12]By April 2013, the online editions of all the northern Utah County publications, except theAmerican Fork Citizenhave been discontinued. However, an online edition ofThe Pyramid(Mount PleasantinSanpete County) is also published.[13]
In February 2013, theDaily Heraldannounced that it would no longer publish a daily opinion page. This change came shortly after 10 percent of its workforce was laid off, including the executive editor.[14]As of May 2013, a replacement executive editor, nor an interim executive editor, had not been identified, leaving the possibility that the position may be permanently eliminated.[15]
In April 2014, Bob Williams was named publisher,[16]and in September 2015, theDaily Heraldnamed Scott Tittrington and Jordan Carroll as co-managing editors.[17]In 2016, Lee Enterprises sold theDaily HeraldtoOgden Newspapers.[18]
