Oregon Herald

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oregon Herald was a newspaper published in Portland, Oregon, United States from 1866 until 1873.[1] Originally a weekly and alternatively known as the Weekly Oregon Herald,[2] its publication became daily except Mondays in 1869,[3] after which it was alternatively known as the Daily Oregon Herald.

In 2002 a website was launched with the same name. Oregon State Media Inc. was established in 2010, and operated the site after that.[4][5]
