[edit] Daily Herald history

The Daily Herald was started in 1871 by Hosea C. Paddock and was driven by the motto, “To fear God, tell the truth and make money [2].” Paddock Publications, Inc. was started as an independent publishing company and continues to be one today. With a large number of independent publishing companies being bought or going out of business, the success of Paddock Publishing and the Daily Herald has been impressive. The Daily Herald has been developed by four generations of Paddocks and is now the third largest newspaper in Illinois. It ranks as number 80 on the list of newspapers in the United States by circulation. The Paddock Family doesn’t have any plans to sell the company in the future. They have encountered a circulation growth of 19.9% over the past ten years in the Chicago suburban market [3]. Today, the Daily Herald’s motto is, “Big picture. Local Focus” because it claims to have superb national and international articles as well as the most detailed, relevant and timely local news of the suburbs.
