Early history
The newspaper was founded in 1882, and claims on its masthead to be "Chicago's Oldest Community Newspaper." For the Herald's first seven years, it was a suburban newspaper covering affairs in an independent unit of local government; after Hyde Park was annexed by Chicago in 1889, the Herald evolved into its current status as an urban neighborhood newspaper.
Coverage and publications
The Herald's four regular reporters cover local politics, education, real estate and crime issues.
Herald Newspapers, Inc., the corporate owner of the Herald, also publishes the Lakefront Outlook, which covers the neighborhoods north of Hyde Park up to 22nd Street.
Key people
The longtime owner and publisher of the Hyde Park Herald remains (as of 2009) Bruce Sagan, who is father of Paul Sagan, the CEO of Akamai Technologies. Democratic political consultant David Axelrod wrote for the paper while a student at the University of Chicago in the 1970s. Lee Botts, a prominent Great Lakes environmentalist and a senior official in the administration of President Jimmy Carter, was editor of the Herald in the early 1960s.
