DEL RIO, Texas – The Del Rio News-Herald will print its final edition this Wednesday, the publication announced on its website Tuesday afternoon. “Retiring the Del Rio News-Herald this week is an incredibly difficult decision, one made only after long and deep consideration,” said Leonard Woolsey, president of Southern Newspapers Inc., which owns the Del Rio News-Herald. Woolsey alerted staff about the closure before the final edition was published Tuesday, the paper said. Woolsey cited current economic conditions as a reason for the closure. The Del Rio News-Herald started in 1884, but it didn’t take on its current name until after the consolidation of two separate titles in 1929.
