It was published in two editions, a four-page paper with only local news, and a slightly more expensive eight-page paper with "all the news."

The paper was published in house until 1994. [7] Drysdale's son M. D. Drysdale took over the newspaper in 1971 and changed the name to The Herald of Randolph. [8] Tim Calabro and his wife Katie Vincent-Roller, became the Herald's owners in June 2015 via the company Black White Red, LLC, which does business as The Herald of Randolph.
