Vallejo Times Herald

The Vallejo Times Herald is a newspaper in the city of Vallejo, California.[1] 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. The change in ownership led to a massive strike by 113 of its workers on June 20, 1978, who established the rival paper Vallejo Independent Press directly next door. In spite of widespread support and thousands of Vallejoans cancelling their TH subscriptions in favor of the VIP, the strike and new paper folded in August of 1984, no longer able to compete financially with the Donrey media giant. It is now owned by MediaNews Group,[2] who took control of the paper from Donrey in 1999.[3] It is currently printed five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday.
