The Bucks Herald
The Bucks Herald is a weekly newspaper for Aylesbury and nearby villages in Buckinghamshire, England. It comes out every Wednesday.
The paper began in 1832. Its original long name was The Bucks Herald, Farmers' Journal and Advertisers' Chronicle for Bucks, Beds, Herts, Berks, Oxon, Northamptonshire, and it also included the Windsor and Eton Journal. For more than 100 years its front page carried only advertisements.
Historically, the Bucks Herald supported the Conservative Party. This stance was stated in its editorial as new management took over in 1856.
In the 1800s and early 1900s, the price of the paper fell as it absorbed local rivals. In 1856 it cost 4½d, in 1872 it dropped to 2d after taking over the Bucks Gazette and the Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Chronicle, and by 1912 it was 1d.
In May 2012 the Bucks Herald changed from a broadsheet to a compact format.
Today the paper covers local news, features, leisure and sport, with the sport section giving extensive coverage to Aylesbury FC, the town’s football club.
The Bucks Herald is published by Premier Newspapers Ltd, which is part of National World. The editor is Hayley O'Keeffe. It is written in English and based in Aylesbury. The circulation was 798 in 2024. The website is bucksherald.co.uk.
The group also published the free Bucks Advertiser on Fridays, but that title stopped publishing in 2019.
