History

The Hilo Tribune began publication on November 23, 1895, and changed its name to the Hilo Daily Tribune in 1917. [2] The Hilo Daily Tribune, the Hawaii Herald (August 13, 1896 – February 22, 1923) and the Daily Post-Herald merged to form the Hilo Tribune-Herald, which began publishing on February 19, 1923. It continued under that name until March 1964, when it assumed its present title. [2]

In 1962, the newspaper began publication of a weekly special edition for the west (Kona) side of the island, which later became West Hawaii Today , now published daily.

With the demise of the Hawaii Island Journal in June 2008, Tribune-Herald owner Stephens Media Group ran all the commercial newspapers on the island including the Big Island Weekly. [3] Big Island Weekly published its last issue in July 2014.

On October 1, 2014, Oahu Publications, the publisher of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser announced it was buying the Hawaii Tribune-Herald and West Hawaii Today from Stephens Media. [4]
