History
editThe 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]
The paper is based in Sherman and has a bureau in downtown Denison.
In 2015, the Stephens Media newspapers were sold to New Media Investment Group, which is part of Gatehouse Media.[3]
