message: "Aggressive" and "an alternative" are code words here for "conservative." The Herald's ideological leanings are very well known; why did the writer of this article choose to obfuscate them in favor of using more misleading and POV-laden terminology? (That is, the Herald is only "aggressive" in an objective sense if we define aggressive to mean "only going after non-conservatives." The use of "an alternative" is murkier, but such tropes are often used by conservatives in an effort to differentiate conservative media sources from more mainstream ones.
: If the Herald's bias is well known, so is the Globe's, and what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Both the Herald and Globe articles probably ought to note that their news columnists tend to lean a certain way; and if proper citations can be found, should also note specific allegations of bias. I disagree, however, with your assertion that the words used in this article are incorrect. Objectively, the paper is agressive; the fact that it goes after Democrats more often than Republicans is a function of the fact that Boston and Massachusetts government contain many more Democrats than Republicans. And the paper is "an alternative" to the Globe in more ways than simply in providing a different ideological slant; the Herald points out the Globe's journalistic missteps, highlights crime stories and has a different journalistic style than its broadsheet competitor: shorter stories, heavier on human drama, with more sensationalist headlines. Whether or not these can be considered improvements, they are definitely alternatives. Wiki Wistah 06:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

    While Wikipedia articles generally attain a good standard after editing, it is important to note that fledgling, or less well monitored, articles may be susceptible to vandalism and insertion of false information, although this usually ceases to be as significant a problem as articles mature. Inappropriate edits are often noticed and corrected within a relatively short time on most articles.
    (See for example this 2005 incident [1] reported by the Boston Herald, resulting from a person who inserted a fake biography linking a prominent journalist to the Kennedy assassinations and Soviet Russia as a joke on a co-worker, saying afterwards he "didn’t know [Wikipedia] was used as a serious reference tool.")

replies: text: What was fictional? According to the article, the Herald was a broadsheet at the time of the Korean War (and, for that matter, at the time of MASH's 1970s television run). ``` W i k i W i s t a h W a s s a p ``` 02:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need a section on the Boston Herald's distribution of papers to classrooms? Virtually every daily newspaper has this type of program, including the Boston Globe.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.18.12 (talk) 12:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The Boston Evening Traveler is the name of the newspaper I remember being delivered to our home when I was growing up. It was the evening edition of the Herald-Traveler and was, to the best of my recollection, just called the Evening Traveler. The formal change of the paper's name didn't occur till 1967, when the two editions were merged into the Boston Herald-Traveler. I don't remember the paper being called that beforehand. There were two separate editions till then, essentially two papers, the Herald and the Traveler. This is what I recall. Needless to say, I could be wrong. The corporate name was and had been for some time the Herald-Traveler but not the newspaper itself (or rather themselves, as there were two editions), not until 1967.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Telegonus (talk • contribs) 11:14, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Instead, it talks about radio and television. There is no talk about newspaper history and names. Section appears mis-titled. Rename it e.g. "Radio and television". --Jim Luedke  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimlue (talk • contribs) 05:02, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Apparently the Herald has moved at least twice, to the South End in the 1950s after urban renewal there, and to South Boston Waterfront in 2012.  Not sure if it's made any other major moves, but they seem worth mentioning in detail. Also, at some point didn't they consolidate their printing press operations with the Boston Globe? -- Beland (talk) 04:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
