Morpeth Herald
The Morpeth Herald is a weekly broadsheet newspaper sold in the town of Morpeth in Northumberland and its surrounding villages in the former Borough of Castle Morpeth, including the small town of Ponteland.
It was founded on 1 April 1854 by tailor’s son James Mackay. Initially a monthly publication, it became a weekly four years later. It remained in the Mackay family’s hands until 1983, when it was sold to the Tweeddale Press Group; they sold it to Portsmouth and Sunderland Newspapers in 1992.
It’s now published by Northeast Press Ltd, a division of Edinburgh-based Johnston Press, one of the biggest names in regional newspaper publishing in the UK. The editorial offices are in Morpeth.
There’s a companion freesheet, the News Post Leader, whose Wansbeck edition covers part of the Herald‘s circulation area.
It comes out on Thursdays.
