The Herald-Mail is the Tri-State Area's premier newspaper serving the cities of Hagerstown, Maryland, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and Martinsburg, West Virginia and surrounding counties of Washington in Maryland, Franklin and Fulton in Pennsylvania, and Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan in West Virginia.

History

The Morning Herald was the first daily newspaper in Hagerstown, beginning publication in 1873. The Mail began in 1828 but converted to a daily paper, The Daily Mail, in 1890. The two newspapers merged in 1920 and were purchased by Schurz Communications in 1960. The Herald-Mail offered them as two weekday newspapers: in the morning, the The Morning Herald and in the afternoon, The Daily Mail newspaper. On 01 October 2007, the newspaper company combined the two weekday papers into one morning paper, The Herald-Mail. This move follows a national trend of print paper consolidation to better compete with the growing popularity of news resources of the World Wide Web. The Weekend Edition is offered on Saturday and Sunday also as a single morning edition called The Herald-Mail.

Readership

The newspaper has a daily circulation of 34,097 and Sunday circulation of 37,601. 2.5 million Herald-Mail.com views are registered monthly with 11,500 unique daily visitors. Average readership consists of 72,000 adults daily and 79,300 adults for Sunday. 20% of the readership is from Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Corporate

The Herald-Mail has been owned by Schurz Communications since 1960 and functions as the second largest newspaper by circulation in the company. Schurz Communications also owns the area's cable company, Antietam Cable. [ [http://www.schurz.com/newspapers/index/ Schurz.com - Newspapers] , accessed 29 September 2008.]
