''The Chronicle-Herald'' is a Broadsheet published in Halifax, Nova Scotia . It is the largest paper by circulation in the Atlantic provinces, and the largest independently owned newspaper in Canada . The paper is owned by the Dennis family of Halifax.

The paper is the largest and most influential paper in mainland Nova Scotia .


HISTORY

  • Founded in 1875 as ''The Morning Herald'', it quickly became one of Halifax's main newspapers. The same company also owned the ''Evening Mail'', which was published in the afternoon.


  • The main competitors were the ''Chronicle'' in the morning, and the ''Star'' in the afternoon.


  • By 1949 both sets of papers had merged to become the ''Chronicle-Herald'' and ''Mail-Star'' respectively.


  • In 1998 the company began producing a Sunday edition called the ''Sunday Herald''. In 2004 the ''Chronicle-Herald'' and ''Mail-Star'' were merged to form the single ''Chronicle-Herald''.


  • In January 2004 , the Chronicle-Herald became the first newspaper in Canada, and one of only several in the world, to operate a ''WIFAG'' offset press. This development led to an increased use of colour, as well as changes in font and styling.



TRIVIA

  • The Herald's now-deactivated press room at its Argyle Street headquarters was used in 2001 to film scenes used in '' The Shipping News ''.
