The Washington Herald was an American daily newspaper in Washington, D.C., from October 8, 1906, to January 31, 1939.
History
The paper was founded in 1906 by
Clinton T. Brainard, president of the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, bought the paper in 1913. William Randolph Hearst, who already owned the Washington Times, took over the paper in November 1922.[1][2] Though he consolidated the operations of the papers, they still published separately except for a joint Sunday edition.
Cissy Patterson was appointed editor by Hearst in 1930.[3]
The Herald was merged with the Times on February 1, 1939, with the combined publication known as the Washington Times-Herald. In 1954, the Times-Herald was purchased by and merged with The Washington Post.
