History
On November 23, 1895, the first edition of the Hilo Tribune was published. It was founded by a cooperation headed by Gardner K. Wilder. The Tribune was the oldest English paper in Hilo, Hawaii. A rival paper called The Hawaii Herald launched in August 1896, followed by The Hawaii Post in 1914. The Tribune was renamed to the Hilo Daily Tribune in 1917.
The Herald and Post merged in 1918 to form the Daily Post Herald. In 1923, the Tribune and Post-Herald merged to form the Hilo Tribune-Herald. Decades later it was renamed to the Hawaii Tribune-Herald.

Why this record matters
The phrase “newspaper published in Hawaii, United States” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13447569. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1895, 1896, 1914 and 1917.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
