History
On June 5, 1870, William C. Dunbar and Edward L. Sloan published the first edition of the morning Salt Lake Herald.[2][3] On September 1, 1870, John T. Caine bought an interest in the business. Sloan continued as editor and Dunbar worked as business manager.[4] On August 3, 1874, Sloan died at age 43.[5][6]
In July 1901, business manager William Iglehart acquired the Herald with the financial backing of William A. Clark from Alfred W. McCune and the estate of R. C. Chambers.[7][8] In January 1908, Clark sold the Herald to Samuel Newhouse and Col. E.A. Will.[9] In July 1909, Daniel C. Jackling and the other owners of the Inter-mountain Republican purchased the Herald and merged the two papers to form the Salt Lake Herald Republican.[10]
In February 1918, the owners of the Salt Lake Telegram leased the Herald Republican and its printing plant. The two plants and papers were consolidated to form the Salt Lake Herald-Republican-Telegram.[11] That July, the Herald Republican owners ended the lease agreement and relaunched the paper.[12] James P. Casey soon became general manager and the paper was renamed to The Herald.[13][14]
In February 1920, the Herald owners acquired the Telegram, and merged the two under the Telegram masthead.[15][16] In September 1930, company president Arthur L. Fish announced the paper had been acquired by the Kearns family, owners of The Salt Lake Tribune.[17] In August 1952, the Telegram was acquired by the Deseret News and absorbed into that paper.[18]
