Introduction '''''The Herald Republican''''' is an American daily newspaper published in Angola, Indiana. It is owned by KPC Media Group.It covers the city of Angola and all of Steuben County in the northeastern corner of Indiana.
History Two competing weekly newspapers, the ''Steuben Republican'' (founded in 1857 by J. M. Bromagen as a Republican paper) and the ''Angola Herald'' (founded in 1876 by Isaac L. Wiseman, Democratic in politics), formed the Steuben Printing Company as a joint venture in 1925 and eventually became sister newspapers upon the death of the ''Herald'' publisher, Harvey Morley, in the 1960s.The Willis family, which had published the ''Republican'' since 1906, maintained both papers' independence until 1980, when they were merged into ''The Steuben County Herald-Republican''. The merged paper was acquired in 1982 by Home News Enterprises, based in Columbus, Indiana, which increased its frequency to two issues per week in 1989.Citing a desire to concentrate on its Central Indiana properties, Home News sold the ''Herald-Republican'' to Kendallville Publishing Company, which already owned ''The News Sun'' and ''The Evening Star'' dailies in neighboring counties. The new owners converted it into a daily newspaper September 12, 2001.Public Square in Angola. ''The Herald Republican'' offices can be seen in the third building to the right of the monument.
