The Herald News is a newspaper published by North Jersey Media Group, which also publishes its sister paper "The Record". The paper is published in West Paterson, New Jersey, and focuses on the Passaic County, New Jersey area. The Herald News has a daily circulation of nearly 50,000 and a Sunday circulation over 40,000 [ [http://www.njinsider.com/newspapers02.htm#Herald%20News New Jersey Insider: Newspapers D-N] , accessed September 29, 2006] .

The "Herald News" came together with the merger of a few local papers in the Passaic metropolitan area, and for many years was known as the "Passaic Herald News". In the 1970s, the paper became known as the "North Jersey Herald-News" and was one of two widely circulated papers in Passaic County, the other being the "Paterson Evening News". Austin Drucker was the owner and publisher of the "Herald-News" at this time, as well as owning other newspapers in northern New Jersey, including a daily newspaper in Dover.

In 1988, the "Herald-News" and the "Evening News" merged operations to become the "North Jersey Herald & News", centralizing operations at the "Herald-News" building located on Main Avenue on the Passaic-Clifton border (the "Evening News"' building, which was located on 16th Avenue in Paterson, is currently occupied by a Paterson elementary school).

In the mid-1990s, the paper dropped the ampersand from its name, and later would drop "North Jersey" as well, just being called the "Herald News". Around that same time, the owners of "The Record", which at the time operated primarily out of Hackensack (and still does), bought the "Herald News" and merged the operations of both papers. Eventually the "Herald News" was moved out of Passaic and into its current location in West Paterson.

The "Herald News"' primary area of concentration is in Passaic County, while also covering news in the suburbs of the county (areas of Bergen, Essex, and Morris Counties) as well.
