The Huntsville Times same changes. The company has since made similar changes to what had been daily newspapers in both Syracuse, New York, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The final daily edition was published on September 30, 2012. The next day was the first time in more than a century that the city of Huntsville had been without a daily newspaper. Patrick McCauley, a native of Alexandria, Louisiana, was the longest-serving editor of the daily "Huntsville Times", a post he filled from 1966 to 1994. A previous editor, Reese Thomas Amis (1888–1964), had mentored McCauley when he was a reporter at "The Times" from 1949
The Herald Times Reporter press was brought on a schooner from Milwaukee. A weekly newspaper called the "Weekly Press" was printed; it was renamed the "Weekly Herald" in 1955. In 1898, the "Weekly Herald" became a daily newspaper; the Herald-Press Publishing Company was formed and it printed the "Daily Herald" and "Weekly Press". The "Weekly Press" was absorbed into the "Daily Herald" in 1953 and the newspaper became known as the "Herald Times". It purchased the "Two Rivers Reporter" based in nearby Two Rivers in 1970 and the newspaper took its current name "Herald Times Reporter". It was purchased by Gannett Company in 2000.
