History

Founded in 1849 as the Palestine Advocate, the Palestine Daily Herald came about following the Hamilton family's 1903 merger of the Advocate with the Palestine Press and Palestine Daily Visitor. The name "Press" was added under the Patrick family's ownership in 1966. That family sold the paper in 1998 to Alabama-based CNHI, which owns it today. [2]

Editor Jeffery Gerritt won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for an editorial series titled Death Without Conviction. The series focused on a record number of inmates who died while in custody in county jails across Texas, and compiled information obtained from Texas Public Information Act requests. Many inmates who died were pre-trial detainees who had not been convicted of crimes and were awaiting trial. [3]
