Will the last one out turn off the lights? Herald editor jumps ship to TV station

Herald (Evening)Traveler Record American

I remember in the 60s when Boston had three daily newspapers. the Boston Globe, the Record American and the Herald Traveler. Of these three, the Record American was the right wing tabloid and most resembled the Herald of today. The Herald Traveler was a bit on the "intellectual" side. Something like the old Christian Science Monitor, if you will. And the Globe was still in it's glory days, before it's serious decline. In the early 70s the Record American and the Herald Traveler merged (I think) which begat the Herald American. The Herald American was pretty much a clone of the Globe, in format and almost in politics (though still slightly to the right), but it was refreshing to have done away with the trite right wing tabloid rag. In the 80s it reverted to the old right wing rag style and became the Boston Herald. Nobody remembers that 1970s breath-of-fresh-air era of Boston newspapers now.
