History [link]

The paper was first published 31 August 1883 by Andrew Armour and Thomas Braden as The Calgary Herald, Mining and Ranche Advocate and General Advertiser.[2][3] It started as a weekly paper with only four pages created on a handpress. The operation was small, with a tent by the junction of the Bow and Elbow rivers serving as the office. This continued until 26 November 1884 when Hugh St. Quentin Cayley and his Herald Printing and Publishing Company took over. Cayley also began publishing the Calgary Daily Herald, a daily version of the newspaper, on 2 July 1885. Eventually the publisher's name was changed to Herald Publishing Company Limited.

In January 1908, the Southam Company purchased a majority interest.[3] From February 1890 to August 1893 and December 1894 to September 1895, the weekly paper appeared as the Wednesday issue of the daily paper. Publication of the daily paper was suspended between 21 September 1893 and 13 December 1894. It was not until fall 1983 that it was published seven days a week.[3] The Calgary Daily Herald's name was changed to the Calgary Herald in February 1939, and continued to be published as an afternoon paper until April 1985. Since then it has been delivered in the mornings.

In November 2000, the Herald became part of Southam Newspapers. In 1996 the paper was sold to the Hollinger Corporation under Conrad Black. It was then sold to Canwest News Service a subsidiary of CanWest Global Communications. Canwest entered bankruptcy protection in late 2009 and announced Tuesday 13 July 2010 that its newspaper subsidiary has successfully emerged from creditor protection with new owners Postmedia.[3][4]

The Herald also publishes Neighbours, a weekly community newspaper that is distributed with the Herald in some parts of Calgary, and Swerve, a weekly magazine-style pullout. In the spring of 2005, the Herald joined several other CanWest Global affiliates in launching Dose, a free daily newspaper targeted at 20-something commuters; it was discontinued as a print publication after a year.

Labour issues [link]

On 8 November 1999, recently-unionized staff at the Herald, including reporters, went on strike. The strike lasted until July 2000, during which many longtime Herald reporters left the newspaper. While some accepted a severance package, others returned to work on the condition that the union be dissolved.[5] Many seasoned journalists were replaced by inexperienced staff and it took several years for the Herald to rebuild its readership after the strike. Former Herald staff who left during or as a result of the strike can be found working for other publications, most notably the weekly business-oriented publication Business Edge.[citation needed]

On 25 February 2011 the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP) asked the federal government to review (under the Investment Canada Act) the 2010 purchase of the newspaper by Postmedia Network.[6] Since 2010, Postmedia cut about 500 full-time jobs across the many newspapers it owns[6] to deal with the debt it inherited with the 2010 purchase.[7] CEP union spokesman Peter Murdoch said, "This is hardly of net benefit to Canadians, their communities or the critical flow of information in a democratic society,".[6]

    The Herald

    by: Asphyx

    The heralds 's arrival
    From beyond outer spheres
    Forecasting damnation
    Doomsday is near
    Hear his words of wisdom
    Truthteling prophet
    His appearance followed by
    The dark cloak of death
    In pathetic disputes
    A race for oil and gas
    Cremating in the cauldron
    Incinerating fast
    Arctic shrinkage
    Drastic alteration
    Chawing permafrost
    Subsurface refridgeration
    Poles are melting
    A cascading release
    Mankind's drowning
    In oceans of tears
    Reaching critical stage
    Glacial minimum
    High-explosive event
    Ignite the methane bomb
    Save humanity from pain
    In afterlife fantasia
    Spare the species their suffering
