The Telegraph Herald, locally referred to as the TH, is a daily newspaper published in Dubuque, Iowa for the population of Dubuque and surrounding areas in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The newspaper is the result of a 1901 merger of the Dubuque Herald and the Dubuque Telegraph.[1] A descendant of the Dubuque Visitor (founded in 1836), the Dubuque Herald's earliest editor was Dennis Mahony.[2].

The Telegraph was founded in 1870, and before merging with the Herald had absorbed eight local publications.[1] John S. Murphy was the editor and publisher of the Telegraph at the time of its merger until his death in March 1902.[1] He was a prominent democratic leader, and editorialized at the time of the merger that "politically and economically the policy of the Telegraph-Herald will be a continuation of that of the Telegraph."[1]

His son and successor as editor from 1902 to 1914, Richard Louis Murphy, was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1932.[3] The paper is published by Woodward Communications, which is also based in Dubuque. The current editor of the paper is Brian Cooper.
