Abstract

An examination of the birth and growth of the Omaha World-Herald necessitates a study of two pioneer Omaha Dailies. Gilbert Monell Hitchcock, owner of the Omaha Daily World purchased the Omaha Daily Herald on July 10, 1889. Five days later the first edition of the Omaha World-Herald appeared on the city’s streets. Hitchcock has considered the two dailies into a newspaper destined to become the journalistic leader in Nebraska's largest cities.
