Joliet Herald-News is a daily newspaper in Joliet, Illinois, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.
The newspaper is published six days a week - Monday through Friday and on Sunday.
The Herald-News traces its roots to April 20, 1839 when a group of residents of the tiny town of Juliet (named after the daughter of one of the founders) launched the weekly Juliet Courier. A half decade later the city’s name was changed to Joliet, in honor of the great French explorer Louis Joliet. The paper changed hands and became the Joliet Signal. Other predecessors of today’s Herald-News include the True Democrat, the Joliet Republican, the Joliet Record and the Joliet Sun. The first issue of the Joliet News hit the streets in 1877 and the Joliet Herald first appeared November 18, 1904. When Col. Ira C. Copley purchased The Herald in 1913 and added the printing equipment and circulation lists of the News to his company in 1915, he merged the two papers and the Joliet Herald-News was born. In 1974, to reflect the increased circulation in fast growing Will and Grundy counties, Joliet was dropped from the masthead and the paper became known as The Herald-News.
Circulation: 33,310 copies
