History
[edit]The Herald was founded in 1955 by Gerald Porter.[2] When Porter died in 1963, his wife Marjorie Parham assumed control of the paper. In 1996, Parham sold the paper to Sesh Communications, a partnership between Eric Kearney, Jan-Michele Lemon, Wilton Blake, and Ronda Gooden.[1] In 2026, the paper announced it had paused production.[3]
