History
The newspaper was founded as the Hutchinson County Herald in 1926[2] by David M. Warren Sr., who sold it to oilman Roy Whittenburg in 1946. In 1956, Whittenburg sold it to his brother-in-law, W. Glynn Morris. After Morris' retirement in 1977, Jimmy Allison became publisher[3]
In 1978, Donrey Media Group bought the paper and Donald W. Reynolds became publisher.[3] The company sold the newspaper to Community Newspaper Holdings (CNHI) in 1998.[4] In 2001, CNHI put the News-Herald up for sale along with 30 other properties, including fellow West Texas papers the Big Spring Herald and Sweetwater Reporter.[5] Horizon Publications bought the three West Texas papers in 2003.[6]
