The Herald (Ireland)

The Herald is a nationwide mid-market tabloid newspaper headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, and published by Independent News & Media who are a subsidiary of Mediahuis. It is published Monday–Saturday. The newspaper was known as the Evening Herald until its name was changed in 2013. It is known for its vendors on the streets of Dublin.

The Evening Herald was first published in Dublin on 19 December 1891. Former contributors included Joan Tighe.

In 1982 the paper changed its size from broadsheet to tabloid.[citation needed]

Until November 2000, the Evening Herald was produced and pressed in Independent House on Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1.[citation needed] The monochrome printing 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 the Irish Independent, the Sunday Independent and 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 of Herald music critic Chris Wasser was threatened by fans of boy band The Wanted in 2012 following the publication of his review of their gig in Dublin.

In March 2013, it was reported that the Evening Herald was to be renamed The Herald and would become a morning rather than an evening newspaper.

In March 2017, it was announced that INM were merging the Sunday World and The Herald newsrooms.

In October 2020, Independent News & Media announced that they would not longer be supporting the Herald website and would merge the Herald newsroom with the INM newsroom.
