History
[edit]The Herald Democrat was founded in 1996, when its owner, Stephens Media Group, merged the Denison Herald and the Sherman Democrat. Both papers had been founded in the Texoma area: 1879 in Sherman and 1889 in Denison.[2]
The paper is based in Sherman and has a bureau in downtown Denison.
In 2015, the Stephens Media newspapers were sold to New Media Investment Group, which is part of Gatehouse Media.[3]
In October 2016, The Herald Democrat's daily circulation was 18,068 and 18,667 on Sunday.[4] The newspaper's website had 114,400 unique visitors and 734,400 page views.[5]
Gannett sold the paper, along with 16 others to CherryRoad Media in February 2022.[6]
