The Albany Herald

The Albany Herald is the daily newspaper for metro Albany in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is distributed in metro Albany and in southwest Georgia. The newspaper was founded in 1891. Offices for the paper were previously housed in the historic Rosenberg Brothers Department Store in downtown Albany. History The Herald Publishing Company, a company founded in 1897, was purchased by James H. Gray in 1946 after he returned from World War II. The Albany Herald would become the flagship newspaper of Gray Communications Systems (now Gray Television). In 1993, The Herald converted to a morning publication to serve better the needs of southwest Georgia. In 2005 Gray's newspaper holdings were spun off into a separate company which was named Triple Crown Media. Triple Crown Media changed its name to Southern Community Newspapers Incorporated in 2010.
