History
editThe Herald was founded by Horace Greeley Newport and William Skinner in 1906.[3]
G. M. "Jerry" Reed bought a minority ownership stake in the paper in 1969 and became the sole owner in 1974.[4] He merged his company with Eagle Newspapers in a stock-for-stock exchange in 1979.[5][6] Reed sold his interests in the company in 1984 and would run the paper until selling it to Western Communications in 1992.[4][3]
Reed was posthumously inducted into the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association's hall of fame in 2017.[7][8]
In 2008, the newspaper was purchased by EO Media Group (formerly known as the East Oregonian Publishing Company).[9] In June 2024, EO Media Group announced The Hermiston Herald will cease print publication and go online-only. All print subscribers will instead receive the East Oregonian, published weekly and including news from The Hermiston Herald's website.[10][11]
