Herald News - Further History

Further History

In 1997 the Herald & News began publishing the local Clifton paper Dateline Journal out of its Passaic headquarters and added a sign with the Dateline Journal's logo to its outside wall. The same year, MediaNews sold the paper to The Record, owned by the Borg family. (North Jersey Media Group was later formed as a holding company for the Borg's assets.)

Early in the 2000s, the paper dropped the ampersand from its name, and later would drop "North Jersey" as well, just being called the Herald News. Shortly thereafter, the operations of both The Record and the Herald News were merged. North Jersey Media Group set up a new headquarters in Woodland Park and moved the entire operation of the Herald News, as well as the Wayne, New Jersey-based Record Passaic County bureau and some of its operations, to the new building. (The Record's presses, offices, and other operations are still located in its Hackensack headquarters.) The Dateline Journal operations were moved back into Clifton and the paper became known as the Clifton Journal, and the Passaic building was permanently closed; the building has since been demolished and a Passaic middle school now sits on the site.

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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)
