I remember OHeraldO edition in Portuguese & partly in Romi Konkani.
It was on my birthday 10.Oct.(1983), OHeraldo changed to fully English. And
now, I think it is
No.1 in Goa.
Herald become more popular during Language agitation (mainly amongst the Goan
catholics)
Plus Tiatr (it gives very concessional rates for Tiatr ads) that's why once can
see up to more
than one full page of Tiatr ads on Sundays.
Usually, a small display ad of 5cm x 1 col cost Rs.1150 but the same is just
Rs.300 for Tiatr
ads (Tiatr ads/announcement only and not all Tiatr related ads). No matter how
big is the ad,
Tiatr ads get about 75% discount. And I always thought our tiatrists are
spending heavily on
their Tiatr ads.
It is also No.1 when it comes to Death/obituary ads. Sometimes more than one
full page where
as NT, same day, not even a quarter. Here also, I think, such ads get some
discount but not as
much as Tiatr.
All this and others make Herald No. 1 today (In terms of Circulation, Revenue
etc)
However, when it comes to news reporting, comparatively, GT is still my No.1
but sadly, most
catholics look at it as Hindu or Pro-Marathi Newspaper and I think this
attitude may never
change unless name 'Gomantak' is changed. GT is still the Cheapest i.e. Rs.2
(16pages)where as
H/NT are Rs.3

The actual date of O HERALDO's 106th anniversary was January 22, 2006. The
then Portuguese-language daily was founded by Messias Gomes on January 22,
1900. It was the first daily ever published in any Portuguese colony.
October 10 marks the anniversary of the day when the newspaper shifted to
the English language.
