CherryRoad Media Vision
CherryRoad Media is committed to reporting on local news with resident journalists in the communities that we serve. Our mission is to capitalize on our roots as a technology company to provide innovative media and technology services to our local communities while simultaneously improving the digital experience and engagement of our subscribers.
Who We Are
Our story began in 1983 when the Gulban family started the technology company originally known as DataStudy Inc in New Jersey. A key tenet of DataStudy’s growth strategy was listening to clients. As customers asked us to create new solutions, capacity, and offerings to support their organizations; we developed strategies to help them succeed. After 20 years of success, we changed our name to CherryRoad Technologies, but our core values and leadership remained unchanged.
Since its founding, CherryRoad Technologies has grown into a highly reputable organization serving thousands of customers across the country. Our high level of customer service and excellence in creating effective business solutions has translated into years of ongoing success.
In 2020, with the decline in local news investment, CherryRoad’s CEO, Jeremy Gulban, decided to chase his passion for journalism and communication and entered the media world via the inception of CherryRoad Media. Through a series of acquisitions and newspaper start-up projects, he has quickly grown the company into a reputable, thriving institution. His enthusiasm for the news industry continues to evolve and his commitment to helping local communities throughout the country has only been strengthened by the relationships he has developed.
At the forefront, CherryRoad Media’s priority is to impact our local markets in innovative and strategic ways.
Building Community Engagement Through the Power of News and Technology
CherryRoad Media’s priority is to keep local, local. We strive to serve the communities we operate in by engaging in the coverage of important local and regional stories and events. By leveraging our technology expertise, we are able to deliver effective technical and media solutions to our customers and local organizations.
Our strength lies in our partnerships with area businesses, governments and subscribers. Our goal is to bring secure, easily accessible, and affordable digital innovations to the communities where we work, live, and play.

About Us
Thank you for your interest in The Delphos Herald
Keeping our readers informed about local community issues has been a tradition in Delphos for over 153 years. The first issue of The Delphos Herald rolled off the press in 1869 as a weekly newspaper. Mr. D.H. Tolan was the publisher of the paper and the population of Delphos at the time was 1,667. Another paper was also being published at this time called The Delphos Courant. Clair Tolan, son of the original publisher, took over the operation of The Herald in 1894 and converted it to The Delphos Daily Herald. In 1910 the Delphos Printing and Publishing Company was formed and took over the operations of both The Herald and the Courant and continued to publish both.
Today, The Herald is the leader in the Tri-County area for local and society news, town council meetings, school and sports coverage, obituaries and more. Our advertisers rely on The Delphos Herald to get their message out to potential customers in the Delphos, Fort Jennings, Ottoville, and Spencerville areas. The current daily circulation of The Herald is 1,775.
This publication is well known for carrying a variety of advertisements, including all the area grocery store flyers, Kohls and Menards inserts, PLUS MORE, to areas that include Fort Jennings, Spencerville, Ottoville, Van Wert, Middle Point, and other area communities.
No other publication can match the coverage of the Tri-County Area like The Delphos Herald. Our location, situated right where the counties of Allen, Putnam, and Van Wert meet, gives us a unique coverage area that no other publication can duplicate. What this means to our advertisers is simple, we can bring an entire market area to their doorstep.
