The Tamworth Herald is a weekly tabloid newspaper published every Thursday in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England. Its offices are based in Ventura Park Road, Bitterscote, and its current editor is Gary Phelps. The newspaper covers events across Tamworth and south Staffordshire, as well as North Warwickshire.
The newspaper was founded as a broadsheet in 1868 by businessman Daniel Addison, and the original offices were based in Silver Street. Until the early 2000s, the Herald was published on a Friday, but the day of publication has now been switched to a Thursday. Three editions of the paper are currently published; one for Tamworth, and an edition each for Coleshill and Atherstone. Much of the content in all three is the same, although the front pages vary, concentrating on local issues in the different areas.
The Herald is owned by Central Independent Newspapers, which is itself owned by Associated Northcliffe DMGT. The CIN group owns a number of other news publications around the Midlands, including the Sutton Coldfield Observer.
