Günther Lenhardt, a journalist from
Berlin,
Germany, established the Herald.[3] He hired two journalists from
Vienna,
Austria,
Ladislaus Frank and
Mark Siegelberg, who had previously worked for the Shanghai Jewish Chronicle.[4] Hartmut Walravens, author of German Influence on the Press in China, said that despite the paper's establishment, "the Shanghai Jewish Chronicle remained the leading paper".[3]The Shanghai Herald and the Shanghai Journal formed an affiliation on March 1, 1946. The Herald began publishing a German supplement, called The Shanghai Herald / German Language Supplement.[3]
Content
One regular feature of the Herald was "Der Wochenslat" ("the weekly salad") by Kurt Lewin.[5]
