The Newfoundland Herald

The Newfoundland Herald

"The Newfoundland Herald" is a weekly magazine available throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, published in St. John's. Owned by Stirling Communications International, a company run by Geoff Stirling, the "Herald" is part news magazine, part entertainment magazine, and includes television listings for the province. It is generally distributed in convenience stores, supermarkets, and through door-to-door delivery.

Founded as "The Sunday Herald" on May 12, 1946, the "Herald" was originally a tabloid newspaper with, in Stirling's words, "a little something for everyone". [ [http://www.nfherald.com/aboutus.html The Newfoundland Herald - About us] ] After Stirling's CJON-TV came on the air, the publication's focus gradually shifted towards celebrity and entertainment features, eventually switching to a magazine format, and becoming Newfoundland's primary source of TV listings. ("TV Guide" was never widely available in the province.) Since the early 2000s, current events-related items and cover stories have been more common, as the publication seeks to reduce its dependence on the TV listings aspects given the growing influence of electronic program guides. Presently, new issues of the "Herald" are generally released on Monday and dated the following Sunday, with listings running Sunday to Saturday.

The "Herald" frequently cross-promotes with sister media outlets NTV and OZ FM; NTV programs are featured frequently (sometimes, in the case of NTV's newscasts, multiple times a year) on the "Herald"'s front cover, whereas competing channels' shows are seldom featured.
