The New York Herald Tribune was a leading daily newspaper of its era in New York City. It was created in 1924 when the New York Tribune acquired the New York Herald. It was viewed for most of its existence as the chief rival of The New York Times, and was widely regarded as a "newspaperman's newspaper" for both the breadth of its coverage and the quality of its writing. The paper won several Pulitzer Prizes during its lifetime.
A "Republican paper, a Protestant paper and a paper more representative of the suburbs than the ethnic mix of the city", the Herald Tribune, almost always referred to as the Trib, quickly became the major competition for the Times following its birth. The paper generally did not match the comprehensiveness of the Times' coverage, but its national, international and business coverage was generally viewed among the best in the industry while its writing was considered vastly superior to its rival's. At one time or another, the paper was home to such writers as Dorothy Thompson, Red Smith, Roger Kahn, Richard Watts, Jr., Homer Bigart, Walter Kerr, Walter Lippmann, St. Clair McKelway, Judith Crist, Dick Schaap, Tom Wolfe, John Steinbeck, and Jimmy Breslin. Editorially, the newspaper was the voice for eastern Republicans, later referred to as Rockefeller Republicans, and espoused a pro-business, internationalist viewpoint.
