Daily Herald history

The ''Daily Herald'' was started in 1871 by Hosea C. Paddock and was driven by the motto, “To fear God, tell the truth and make money [2].” Paddock Publications, Inc. was started as an independent company and continues to be one today. With a large number of independent publishing companies being bought or going out of business, the success of Paddock Publishing and the Daily Herald has been impressive. The ''Daily Herald'' has been developed by four generations of Paddocks. The Paddock Family doesn’t have any plans to sell the company in the future. They have encountered a circulation growth of 19.9% over the past ten years in the Chicago suburban market [3]. Today, the ''Daily Herald''’s motto is, “Big picture. Local Focus” because it claims to have superb national and international articles as well as the most detailed, relevant and timely local news of the suburbs.

Daily Herald sections

The ''Daily Herald'' daily section topics include local and national main news, sports news, business news, classified advertisements, and neighbor news.
