History
The first newspaper in Manitowoc began in November 1850 when a newspaper press was brought on a schooner from Milwaukee. A weekly newspaper called the Weekly Press was printed; it was renamed the Weekly Herald in 1955.[2] In 1898, the Weekly Herald became a daily newspaper; the Herald-Press Publishing Company was formed and it printed the Daily Herald and Weekly Press.[2] The Weekly Press was absorbed into the Daily Herald in 1953 and the newspaper became known as the Herald Times.[2] It purchased the Two Rivers Reporter based in nearby Two Rivers in 1970 and the newspaper took its current name Herald Times Reporter.[2] It was purchased by Gannett Company in 2000.[1]
