The Herald-Tribune is a British broadsheet daily newspaper, published since 1892, which is owned by UNDMedia. Editorially, the newspaper is considered to be more left-wing when compared to the right and centre newspapers. It has 54 bureaus in UK and Ireland and 26 foreign news bureaus. The newspaper is printed in 19 sites around United Kingdom and Ireland.
The task of reporting, writing and editing is done by the more than 1,000 people in the news department.
The news operation consists of several desks or departments, each with its own editors and writers. Editors either assign articles to reporters or help them shape their own story ideas. After the articles have been written, editors make sure that they are fair and readable, write headlines, and decide when and where to print them in the paper. Finally, the desk editors determine, along with photo editors, graphics editors, artists and designers, the best way to display the news.
In addition to the news operations, other teams produce specific sections or pages of the paper, or cover particular subjects. Some of these desks have their own reporters, while others call on writers throughout the paper.
There are three versions of The Herald Tribune - The London Edition, The Scottish Edition and The National Edition.
The London Edition is distributed in the London metropolitan area, as well as in Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, West Sussex and East Sussex counties. The paper is printed in five sections on Monday, six sections on Tuesday and Friday, and seven sections on Wednesday and Thursday.
