Calgary Herald
The Calgary Herald is a daily Calgary, Alberta newspaper. Its major competitor is The Calgary Sun.
It was first published on August 31 1883 by Andrew Armour and Thomas Braden as The Calgary Herald, Mining and Ranche Advocate and General Advertiser. It started as a weekly paper with only four pages created on a handpress. The operation was small, with a tent by the junction of the Bow and Elbow rivers serving as the office. In 1885 the Herald became a daily but it wasn't until fall 1983 that it was published 7 days a week. Until April 1985 it was an afternoon paper but it is now delivered in the mornings. In November 2000, the Herald became part of the Southam Newspapers division of CanWest Global Communications.
The Herald also publishes Neighbours, a weekly community newspaper that is distributed with the Herald in some (but not all) parts of Calgary. In the spring of 2005, the Herald joined several other CanWest Global affiliates in launching Dose, a free daily newspaper targeted at 20-something commuters.Bla Bla Bla
