Overview
Herald is a news magazine WordPress theme for independent newsrooms, local news and online magazines. Newsprint white, news red and a highlighter yellow with a classic high-contrast serif make every headline land.
A breaking news ticker, a top stories grid with a numbered latest list and category desks lead the home page. Journalist profiles, an editorial standards section, subscription plans, letters to the editor, a newsletter and a morning briefing showcase build reader trust and revenue.
