History[edit]

The Herald Democrat was founded in 1996, when its owner, Stephens Media Group, merged the Denison Herald and the Sherman Democrat. Both papers had been founded in the Texoma area: 1879 in Sherman and 1889 in Denison.[2]

In 2015, the Stephens Media newspapers were sold to New Media Investment Group, which is part of Gatehouse Media.[3]
