About The Global Herald

The Global Herald aggregates news, primarily in video format, from high quality outlets, based around key subject areas – called “News Tags”.

See more about The Global Herald here.

The site is owned and operated by Silicon Dales Ltd – a UK based for profit company.

Machine Learning

We use machine learning and human editors to ensure news is relevant to a specific news tag, and will provide supporting context where necessary.

Importantly, we provide objective, relevant context about the source of news, as well as the people and places in any item published.

Very Fast

News websites are often slow. Lot’s of innovation in this space, but the standard homepage on a news website will take a long time to load. This site loads in under 0.2 seconds, on a fast connection, and should load very fast even on a slow mobile connection. Running WordPress, optimized by Silicon Dales.

Ad Driven

This website features advertising to cover the cost of hosting this powerful, fast-loading service. This advertising is managed by, and targeted through, Google Adsense.
