[edit] History

Hawaii Tribune-Herald resulted from several mergers of Hilo-area newspapers. The first, Hilo Tribune, began publication on November 23, 1895. [2] Hawaii Herald (August 13, 1896-February 22, 1923) was another predecessor paper.

The Hilo Tribune-Herald, formed from a merger of Hilo Daily Tribune, Daily Post-Herald, and Hawaii Herald, began publishing February 19, 1923. It continued under that name until March 1964, when it assumed its present title.

In 1962, the newspaper began publication of a weekly special edition for the west (Kona) side of the island, which later became West Hawaii Today.

[edit] Trivia

Seven days before the 1941 Pearl Harbour attack the Hilo Daily Tribune issued a warning of the pending attack. [1]
