Big Spring Herald


The Big Spring Herald is a newspaper based in Big Spring, Texas, covering the Howard County area of West Texas. It published on weekday afternoons and Sunday mornings. It is owned by Horizon Publications Inc.
The Herald was founded as a weekly in 1904 by brothers-in-law Tom Jordan and W.G. Hayden and became a daily in 1928. In 1929, Harte-Hanks Newspapers bought the paper.
