History

Luther Gibson founded the
Vallejo Herald
in 1922. Later that year, he purchased the
Vallejo Times
and merged the papers. He owned the paper until 1974 when he sold it to the
Donrey Media Group
.
On June 20, 1978, 113 of the newspaper's workers went on strike. They established a rival paper,
Vallejo Independent Press
, directly next door. In spite of widespread

support and thousands of Vallejoans canceling their
Times-Herald
subscriptions in favor of the
Vallejo Independent Press
, the strike and new paper folded in August 1984, no longer able to compete financially.

In 1999, the
Times-Herald
changed ownership to the
MediaNews Group
,
[3]
who took control of the paper from Donrey.
[4]
The MediaNews Group became
Digital First Media
in 2013.
This newspaper was one of three newspapers to receive a letter from the
Zodiac Killer
on August 1, 1969.
