4th name for former International Herald Tribune

Today, the International Herald Tribune. Tomorrow, the International New York Times. The New York Times’ Paris-based international paper will change names, not uncommon for that newspaper.

It started in 1887 as the Paris Herald, the European edition of the parent New York Herald.

The newspaper was sold in 1924 to the New York Tribune and became the Paris Herald Tribune.

In 1966 the New York Herald Tribune merged into the short-lived New York World Journal and ceased publication, but the Whitney family kept the Paris paper going in partnership with the Washington Post.

 In 1967 the New York Times also became a joint owner and the name changed to the International Herald Tribune.

And now the newspaper has its fourth name in 126 years.
