'', the '' Sunday Independent'' and various other regional newspapers owned by Independent News & Media. In 2004, production of the paper was moved from Independent House to a new office on Talbot Street and the paper's old home was sold to the neighbouring department store, Arnotts, for an estimated €26 million. The life of ''Herald'' music critic Chris Wasser was threatened by fans of boy band The Wanted in 2012 following the publication of his review of their gig in Dublin. In March 2013, it was reported that the ''Evening Herald'' was to be renamed ''The Herald'' and would become a morning rather than an evening newspaper. In March 2017, it was announced that INM were merging the '' Sunday World'' and ''The Herald'' newsrooms. In October 2020,

announced that they would not longer be supporting the Herald website and would merge the Herald newsroom with the INM newsroom. In 2023, it was reported that Mediahuis were no longer investing in The Herald and it was being left to "sink or swim".

Herald AM

On 10 October 2005, a free version of the ''Evening Herald'', published in the mornings and entitled '' Herald AM'', began distribution, as a defensive measure against the Daily Mail and General Trust-owned '' Metro'', launched on the same date. It joined with another morning freesheet ''Metro'' to become the ''Metro Herald''. Herald AM later closed.
