Reporter-Herald

History

The Loveland Reporter was first published in 1880. A competitor, the Loveland Daily Herald, first appeared in 1908. The two newspapers merged in 1922 to become the Loveland Reporter-Herald. In its early years, the newspaper sometimes referred to itself informally as the Daily Reporter-Herald or the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald. The name Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald was copyrighted in 1975. The trademark for Reporter-Herald was registered in 1994, followed by Loveland Reporter-Herald in 2014. The masthead has varied slightly over the years, from Loveland Reporter-Herald to Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald and back again.

The Loveland Reporter-Herald was acquired in 1967 by Ed and Ruth Lehman, who had previously bought the Longmont Times-Call (1957) and went on to acquire the Cañon City Daily Record (1978). Lehman Communication was continued by the next generation of the Lehman family. The newspaper group was expanded with the Erie Review, Lafayette News, Louisville Times and Superior Observer that were combined into the Colorado Hometown Weekly.

Prairie Mountain Publishing acquired Lehman Communication in 2011.

Location

The offices were held in 201 E. Fifth St., Loveland, Colorado from 1993 to 2017. The paper is as of 2017 based out of neighboring Berthoud, Colorado. From 1956 to 1993, the Reporter-Herald offices were across Fifth Street in what became the Community Health Center. In all, the Reporter-Herald had been in downtown Loveland for more than 100 years, in various locations.
