Boston Herald

About Boston Herald

The Boston Herald is a tabloid-format daily newspaper, the smaller of the two big dailies in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. In comparison with its rival, The Boston Globe, the Herald is noted for it's biased coverage of state and local politics, and its conservative editorial page and news columnists. It is widely regarded as the Fox News Channel of Boston newspapers.

Owned since 1994 by Patrick J. Purcell, a former News Corporation executive, the Herald is the largest independently owned newspaper in New England.

The Herald's history can be traced back through two lineages, the Daily Advertiser and the old Boston Herald, and two media moguls, William Randolph Hearst and Rupert Murdoch.
