The Hinckley Herald & Journal, [1] [2] [3] best known as The Hinckley Herald and Classified Journal, [4] [5] [6] was a weekly freesheet tabloid newspaper founded in 1985. [7] It served its main target area of Hinckley and Bosworth, as well as the villages of Barwell, Burbage, and Earl Shilton in Leicestershire. [8] [9]
The Hinckley Herald was the town's first weekly freesheet newspaper [10] [11] and was launched as the sister title to the town's more well-known and recognisable title of The Hinckley Times. [12] [13] [14] Both publications were owned by the same parent company of Coventry Newspapers Limited, [15] [16] [17] a division of the Trinity Mirror group. [18] [19] [20]
On 17 June 2007, writers at the Herald decided to go on a 24-hour organised strike and walk-out which was arranged by members of the National Union of Journalists to protest over pay with Coventry's newspaper journalists at their Trinity Mirror-owned titles. [21] [22]
The paper was headquartered on Station Road in Hinckley before the publication's staff members merged with The Hinckley Times staff members in their now-demolished offices which were located on Brunel Road. [23]
The last copy of the Herald & Journal to be printed was in 2011 before it finally ceased publication. [24]
