The daily newspaper & local news source 24-7 on Bradenton.com The hometown newspaper of Manatee County since 1922. The Bradenton Herald has mirrored its community's growth -- from the tiny agricultural-and-fishing town of Bradenton to today's bustling, high-growth metropolitan area and sought-after tourist destination -- without losing its small-town charm. The Bradenton Herald competes with three other daily newspapers by offering the best local report available, from breaking news to education coverage and neighborly good news. The Herald has two daily zoned editions: the Lakewood Ranch Herald and the Bradenton Herald.
