History[link]

The Morning Herald was the first daily newspaper in Hagerstown, beginning publication in 1873. The Mail began in 1828 but converted to a daily paper, The Daily Mail, in 1890. The two newspapers merged in 1920 and were purchased by Schurz Communications of South Bend, Indiana in 1960. The Herald-Mail offered them as two weekday newspapers: in the morning, The Morning Herald and in the afternoon, The Daily Mail newspaper. On 1 October 2007, the newspaper company combined the two weekday papers into one morning paper, The Herald-Mail. This move follows a national trend of print paper consolidation to better compete with the growing popularity of news resources of the World Wide Web. The Weekend Edition has been and continues to be offered on Saturday and Sunday as a single morning edition also called The Herald-Mail.
