Zerbey Newspapers, Inc., the parent company of the Pottsville Republican, purchased the 120-year-old Shenandoah Evening Herald, to form the Pottsville Republican & Evening Herald. Times Shamrock Communications purchased J.H. Zerbey Newspapers and subsequently the newspaper in 2003. In 2004, the newspaper became a morning newspaper, renamed the Republican & Herald.[2] In 2009, the "&" was dropped from the cover title.
