The Herald Republican is an American daily newspaper published in Angola, Indiana. It is owned by KPC Media Group.

Contents

It covers the city of Angola and all of Steuben County in the northeastern corner of Indiana.

History

Two competing weekly newspapers, the Steuben Republican (founded in 1857 by J. M. Bromagen as a Republican paper) and the Angola Herald (founded in 1876 by Isaac L. Wiseman, Democratic in politics), [3] formed the Steuben Printing Company as a joint venture in 1925 and eventually became sister newspapers upon the death of the Herald's publisher, Harvey Morley, in the 1960s. [4]

The Willis family, which had published the Republican since 1906, maintained both papers' independence until 1980, when they were merged into The Steuben County Herald-Republican. The merged paper was acquired in 1982 by Home News Enterprises, based in Columbus, Indiana, which increased its frequency to two issues per week in 1989. Citing a desire to concentrate on its Central Indiana properties, Home News sold the Herald-Republican to Kendallville Publishing Company, which already owned The News Sun and The Evening Star dailies in neighboring counties. The new owners converted it into a daily newspaper September 12, 2001. [4]

The Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 was an Act of the United States Congress, signed by President Richard Nixon, authorizing the formation of joint operating agreements among competing newspaper operations within the same media market area. It exempted newspapers from certain provisions of antitrust laws. Its drafters argued that this would allow the survival of multiple daily newspapers in a given urban market where circulation was declining. This exemption stemmed from the observation that the alternative is usually for at least one of the newspapers, generally the one published in the evening, to cease operations altogether.
