The New York Herald was an American broadsheet, published from 1835 to 1924. Under owner-publisher James Gordon Bennett, Sr., it was one of the newspapers that formed a collective with the New York Sun, the New York Courier and Enquirer, the Journal of Commerce, and the New York Evening Express to combine costs of reporting on the Mexican-American War. This collaboration led to the founding of the Associated Press in 1846.
Bennett published the following statement of mission in the first issue: "We shall support no party—be the agent of no faction or coterie, and we care nothing for any election, or any candidate from president down to constable." Bennett pioneered the “extra” edition during the Herald's sensational coverage of the Robinson-Jewett murder trial.
Pioneer comic strip artist Richard Felton Outcault originated the character of Buster Brown and his dog Tige in 1902 in the pages of the Herald.
