Originally launched as the Hythe & Dibden Purlieu Herald in April 1994 by founder Janice Taylor, with a print run of just 1,500 per month, the magazine quickly grew in popularity and today is recognised as a unique and well respected publication.
The Herald - Your Community Magazine is a free magazine distributing 10,500 copies every three weeks. Our mission is to encourage local enterprise, whether it be small businesses, voluntary organisations, community projects or attractions, events and places to go, The Herald prides itself on offering free interesting and easy-to-read news items about local people, businesses and events, topical subjects and general information editorial, alongside paid adverts which are affordable to all. Our unique three weekly publication means the advertisements and editorial benefit from the extended shelf life and longevity that a weekly or daily publication simply cannot offer.
Every three weeks, local residents pick up their free copy of The Herald from local shops, pubs, garages, community centres and other easily accessible places; a full list of our distribution points can be found in each copy of the magazine or in our Media Pack.
Visit our website: www.herald-publishing.co.uk to find out more, here you can also read the online issue and join an increasing new audience reading on their desktops, tablets and mobile devices. The Herald has a large distribution footprint, reaching communities from Hythe & The Waterside, Totton, Cadnam, Romsey & The Wellows and surrounding villages, North Baddesley and the New Forest communities of Lyndhurst, Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, Pilley & Boldre.
We carefully monitor our distribution and by keeping it ‘in-house’ we are confident that copies are picked up and read; there are minimal returns and many returning advertisers, this means we know that people pick up, read and act on the information they see in The Herald – Your Community Magazine.
