Established in 1860, the Herald is an independent weekly broadsheet newspaper covering a large area of Cumbria, including the towns of Penrith, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Kirkby Stephen, Keswick and Alston mainly corresponding to Eden district and part of Allerdale borough.
The newspaper is published weekly on a Saturday, though some shops in Penrith sell it on a Friday evening, with a circulation of approximately 15,910 copies. Up until 2018 The Herald was printed at the CN Group's works at Carlisle but since CN Group was taken over by Newsquest it is printed in Glasgow. Since the printing of the paper was transferred to Glasgow the size of the pages is smaller and the births, marriages and deaths section has moved to Page 2.
In April 2013, the paper won "Weekly Newspaper Of the Year", at the National Newspaper Awards, and was congratulated by local MP Tim Farron and David Simpson MP at the House of Commons.[1]
