 Early in the 2000s, the paper dropped the ampersand from its name, and later would drop "North Jersey" as well, just being called the "Herald News".Shortly thereafter, the operations of both "The Record" and the "Herald News" were merged.North Jersey Media Group set up a new headquarters in what is now Woodland Park (at the time, the municipality was still known as West Paterson) and moved the entire operation of the "Herald News" there.
