Forerunners to the current newspaper wereThe St Andrews Bay News, founded in 1915, published by Frank Stitzer and edited by G.M. West. This paper was a daily, except Sunday. A second paper, also publishing daily except Sunday, was thePanama City Herald, founded in 1935 under the direction of John H. Perry with editorship by Charles T. White. In 1937 the two papers merged asThe News Herald, printing daily except Sunday by Bay County Publishers. Later this was revised to daily except Saturday. In 1952 the papers split intoThe News, publishing seven days a week, andThe Herald, publishing daily except Saturday. In 1970The News Herald reunited as a seven-day a week daily under Freedom Newspapers.[1]
