The Herald-Pioneer

History

The Canby Herald dates back to 1906. In 1915, G.E. Brookins sold the Hubbard Enterprise to then purchase the Canby Herald. A year later Brookins leased his Canby printing plant and moved to Eugene to study journalism at the University of Oregon. The Clackamas County News was then started in Canby with B. E. Lee as publisher and M. J. Lee as editor. W. E. Hassler was publisher of the News for about two years until severing his ties in January 1922. He sold the News to M.J. Lee, now editor and publisher, who renamed it to the Canby Herald. A month later Lee sold the paper to A.W. Bond. In June 1923, the Herald was acquired by W.C. Culbertson. Henry E. Browne worked as the Canby Herald publisher for 15 years and became its owner at some point. He sold it to Elbert Floyd Hall and Esther May Hall in 1937. A decade later the couple sold the paper to William Weston. In 1972, Weston and his wife merged their company with Eagle Newspapers.

Eagle owned the Canby Herald and Molalla Pioneer for nearly four decades until selling them along with three other newspapers in January 2013 to Pamplin Media Group. Pamplin sold the two paper's shared office in August 2019 and moved them to a smaller space. In January 2020, the company announced both paper's print editions were to be merged under the title The Herald-Pioneer while continuing to maintain separate websites and social media accounts. In June 2024, Robert B. Pamplin Jr. sold his newspaper company to Carpenter Media Group.
