The Herald's editorial staff of 450 is almost twice as big as any other in the state; it produces zoned editions for city neighborhoods and suburbs, a daily version translated into Spanish, and a special Latin American edition distributed to 40 cities in 31 countries.

...city editors were quick to express condolences. Said American Society of Newspaper Editors President Michael O'Neill: "For all of us in the newspaper business, it is a very sad day." Nobody knows that better than O'Neill: his own paper, the New York Daily News (circ. 1.5 million), has been seeking a buyer since its owner, Chicago's Tribune Company, put it up for sale just before Christmas.
