The Herald & Review is an American newspaper and digital news organization based in Decatur, Illinois.
It is owned by Lee Enterprises Inc.
In 1931, Decatur's two main daily newspapers -- the morning Herald, owned by the Lindsay family, and the evening Daily Review, owned by the Schaub family -- merged their operations. Both newspapers continued to publish separately while maintaining largely separate editorial staffs. The Lindsay-Schaub combine acquired other newspapers, including The Southern Illinoisan, the Champaign-Urbana Courier, the Edwardsville Intelligencer, the Metro-East Journal and the Midland Daily News, as well as Decatur radio station WSOY.
In 1979, Lee Enterprises purchased most of the Lindsay-Schaub papers, including the Herald and Daily Review. The papers were renamed the Herald & Review and continued to publish morning and evening editions. In June 1982, the evening edition was discontinued.
On July 13, 1937, 17 of the paper's editorial employees walked out and went on strike, forcing suspension of the paper, Decatur's only daily newspaper at the time.
