Redesign

In August 2007, The Herald launched a redesign of its newspaper with the intent on better highlighting local content and adding cosmetic improvements.

The redesign included more local coverage in its news section and the addition of a daily features section titled "Carolina." The redesign coincided with the newspaper's switch from using Quark XPress design software to Adobe InDesign.

Pay Wall

On Aug. 24, 2010, The Herald instituted a pay wall on its website.[3] As of that date, no one could read the stories, archives and most of the other content without subscribing.
