The Oskaloosa Herald is a weekly newspaper published in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and covering Mahaska County, Iowa and Marion County, Iowa. The newspaper publishes weekly on Saturdays, and also publishes the Oskaloosa Shopper.[1] It is owned by CNHI.[2]
History
The paper was founded by John R. Needham and Hugh McNelley in 1850.[3][4] Tri-Cities Newspapers acquired the paper in 1970.[5] Boone Newspapers took over ownership in 1975.[6][7] Donrey Media Group sold the paper to Community Newspaper Holdings (later shortened to CNHI) in 1998.[8]
In May 2020, the CNHI publications Journal-Express and Pella Chronicle were discontinued and merged with The Oskaloosa Herald; these were two of the 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[9]
In June 2023, the Herald closed its building on A Avenue West and moved to 219 High Avenue East, near Oskaloosa's town square.[10]
In March 2025, the Herald announced it would cease its Tuesday publication and become a weekly newspaper publishing on Saturdays, citing the rising costs of producing and distributing a printed newspaper.[11]
