The Newcastle Herald → Newcastle Herald – For the following reasons:
 * The definite article is not included in the masthead.
 * In the list of dailies on the parent company's website, this is one of the titles for which the definite article is omitted. Others, such as The Canberra Times, include it.
 * Pages on the website omit the definite article in the  element and the meta og:site_name.
 * It was previously branded as "The Herald", but this was abandoned in 2019 when Nine sold the newspaper but retained the domain name theherald.com.au.

In prose, I think it is still correct to call it the Newcastle Herald, like we do for the National Post or the Los Angeles Times. The page already does this, with "the" not italicised and not capitalised except at the start of a sentence. Tim Starling (talk) 12:00, 24 February 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.
