''The Herald'' is a daily morning newspaper published in Rock Hill, South Carolina, in the United States. Its coverage is York, Chester, and Lancaster counties. In 1990, the paper was bought by The McClatchy Company of Sacramento, California. The ''Herald'' is also available from coin vending boxes in the extreme southern portion of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina adjacent to York County. The publisher of the ''Herald'' is Debbie Abels. ==History== The paper became a semi-weekly in 1893. In 1911, it was converted to a daily afternoon paper — except Sundays — and renamed ''The Evening Herald''. That name and production schedule would endure for 75 years through several ownership changes. In March 1985, the company was purchased by the News & Observer Co. of Raleigh, North Carolina, then owned by descendants of Josephus Daniels. The new owners changed the Saturday edition to morning and got rid of the ''Evening'' part of the name. In 1986, they launched a Sunday edition and two years later switched to morning publication seven days a week. In 1990, the Daniels family sold the paper to McClatchy. The purchase of The Herald and two other dailies in South Carolina -- ''The Island Packet'' in Hilton Head, and ''The Beaufort Gazette'' of Beaufort—marked McClatchy's first foray into the Southern United States. ''The Herald'' was reunited with the ''N&O'' when McClatchy bought the Raleigh paper in 1995. McClatchy's purchase of most of Knight Ridder's properties, finalized in June 2006, made ''The Herald'' a sister publication of its longtime rival, the ''Charlotte Observer.'' The papers plan to remain separate, and the publisher of the Observer has said the paper has no plans to close its Rock Hill bureau. On November 7, 2007 it was announced that Valerie Canepa, publisher of the Herald for the past four and a half years, would be moving to Columbus, GA to become publisher of the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. At the same time it was also announced that Debbie Abels, 34-year veteran of the Charlotte Observer, would take over as publisher beginning November 26, 2007. Debbie Abels will also report to the publisher of The Charlotte Observer, Ann Caulkins, instead of the McClatchy Regional Vice President as Canepa did. In February 2009, it was announced that as of March 2, the Herald would be going to a regional printing arrangement, in which the newspaper would be printed on The Charlotte Observer's presses in NC. Jim Hoagland, a nationally syndicated columnist for ''The Washington Post'' and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, began his career working summers at ''The Evening Herald''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Herald (Rock Hill)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
