The Sun Herald is a U.S. newspaper based in Biloxi, Mississippi, that serves readers along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is owned by The McClatchy Company, one of the largest newspaper publishers in the United States.
The Sun Herald offices and printing presses were squarely hit by Hurricane Katrina in the summer of 2005, but the newspaper never missed an edition. Some of the staff evacuated in advance of the storm to Columbus, Georgia, where then-owner Knight Ridder owned the Ledger-Enquirer. From the Columbus paper's newsroom, The Sun Herald editors and designers, with the help of Knight Ridder journalists from across the country, produced daily editions of The Sun Herald for eleven days, until power could be restored to Biloxi and the newspaper could be produced at its plant there.
In 2006, The Sun Herald was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in public service, along with New Orleans' The Times-Picayune, for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. It is the first Pulitzer Prize for the newspaper.
