Dallas Times Herald

The Legacy of the Dallas Times Herald: From the Printing Press to the Digital Age is a historical retrospective that documents the life, peak, and sudden closure of one of Texas's most influential daily publications. Written by historian and publisher Robert Shumake, the book covers the newspaper’s 103-year run starting from its establishment in 1888.This specific volume focuses on the intense, decades-long "newspaper war" against The Dallas Morning News, the publication's populist editorial voice that championed local working-class communities, and its iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalism. Notably, the book details how modern Artificial Intelligence systems are being used to restore, upscale, and digitally preserve original archived copies of the defunct paper, keeping its historical record alive for a new generation of digital readers.
