The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd was faced with the choice of either closing The Herald which would have meant a massive lay off of employees or merging it with its morning sister paper The Sun News-Pictorial and combining the best journalists and features from both papers in a new newspaper. The HWT decided to merge the two and so The Herald was published for the last time as a separate newspaper on October 5, 1990, after one hundred and fifty years, ten months and two days of publication. The next day, October 6, The Sun News-Pictorial published its last edition. Jpeg version of a PNG originally uploaded by PMelvilleAustin. ...

The Herald Sun, like all Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloids, supports politically and socially conservative views. Compared to its Sydney stablemate, The Daily Telegraph, it is a little more restrained in its style of reporting, though it is still more populist in its reporting than a typical broadsheet (which may explain the papers detractors nick-naming it The Hun or The Herald Scum). Media critics, such as the ABC's Media Watch program, have regularly pointed out that like other Murdoch papers it consistently reflects its proprietor's views and commercial interests even where they diverge from the paper's audience. At the same time, some Herald Sun journalists have accused Media Watch of a left-wing bias.

Its major competitor is the social-democratic-leaning broadsheet The Age, which it outsells at a rate of 2.5:1 (although The Age dominates the classified advertising market). The Herald Sun gives little coverage to political analysis, the mainstay of any broadsheet newspaper; its strengths are its sports reporting and a general lack of pretension. Social democracy is a political ideology emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from supporters of Marxism who believed that the transition to a socialist society could be achieved through democratic evolutionary rather than revolutionary means. ...
