The Oskaloosa Herald is a semi-weekly newspaper published in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and covering Mahaska County, Iowa and Marion County, Iowa. The newspaper publishes semi-weekly on Tuesday and Friday, and also publishes the Oskaloosa Shopper.[2] It is owned by CNHI.[3]
History
[edit]The paper was founded by John R. Needham and Hugh McNelley in 1850.[4][5] Tri-Cities Newspapers acquired the paper in 1970.[6] Boone Newspapers took over ownership in 1975.[7][8] Donrey Media Group sold the paper to Community Newspaper Holdings (later shortened to CNHI) in 1998.[9]
In May 2020, the CNHI publications Journal-Express and Pella Chronicle were discontinued and merged with The Oskaloosa Herald; these were two of the 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[10]
In June 2023, the Herald closed its building on A Avenue West and moved to 219 High Avenue East, near Oskaloosa's town square.[11]
