==History== The newspaper was originally named the ''Eastbourne Chronicle'' but changed its name to the ''Eastbourne Herald Chronicle'' in 1951. The name remained until 1966 when then name was shortened to the ''Eastbourne Herald''. Nowadays, the paper is edited and created by National World.

==Sister newspaper== The Herald also had a sister newspaper, owned by Beckett Newspapers, called the ''Eastbourne Gazette''. The Gazette was published on Wednesdays and was cheaper than the Herald.
