History

Two competing weekly newspapers, the Steuben Republican (founded in 1857 by J. M. Bromagen as a Republican paper) and the Angola Herald (founded in 1876 by Isaac L. Wiseman, Democratic in politics),[3] formed the Steuben Printing Company as a joint venture in 1925 and eventually became sister newspapers upon the death of the Herald's publisher, Harvey Morley, in the 1960s.[4]

The Willis family, which had published the Republican since 1906, maintained both papers' independence until 1980, when they were merged into The Steuben County Herald-Republican. The merged paper was acquired in 1982 by Home News Enterprises, based in Columbus, Indiana, which increased its frequency to two issues per week in 1989. Citing a desire to concentrate on its Central Indiana properties, Home News sold the Herald-Republican to Kendallville Publishing Company, which already owned The News Sun and The Evening Star dailies in neighboring counties. The new owners converted it into a daily newspaper September 12, 2001.[4]

Sister papers

The Herald Republican is one of three daily newspapers published by KPC Media Group; the other two, both of which cover adjoining Indiana counties, are The News Sun in Kendallville and The Star in Auburn.[4]

The company also owns several monthly publications in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and three weekly newspapers in nearby DeKalb and Noble counties.[4]
