The Baker City Herald is a tri-weekly paper published in Baker City, Oregon, United States, since 1870.[2] It is published on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and is owned by EO Media Group.[2]

History

The Herald was established as the Bedrock-Democrat on May 11, 1870.[3] Its founders were Milton H. Abbott, who had previously launched the Oregon Herald, and Lewis Linn McArthur.[4] In 1887 Ira Bowen and George Small purchased the newspaper for $2500. Bowen and Small published the Daily Democrat and ran the Bedrock Democrat as a weekly edition.[5] In 1929, the Bedrock-Democrat merged with the city's other daily paper, the Morning Herald, to become the Baker Democrat-Herald.[3] When the city's name was changed from Baker back to Baker City in 1990, the paper was renamed to Baker City Herald.[3] The Herald went from being published five days a week to three on June 1, 2009.[3]

As of 2018, the paper's publisher is Karrine Brogoitti and its editor is Jayson Jacoby.[2]

In 2019, EO Media Group acquired the Baker City Herald from Western Communications.[6][7]

In June 2024, EO Media Group announced the Baker City Herald will cease print publication and go online-only. All print subscribers will instead receive the East Oregonian, published weekly and including news from Baker City Herald's website.[8][9]
