The paper's current executive editor and general manager is Blake Kaplan, and its headquarters is in the city of Gulfport.
[3] The Sun Herald offices and printing presses were squarely hit by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, but the newspaper never missed an edition.
Some of the staff evacuated in advance of the storm to Columbus, Georgia, where then-owner Knight Ridder owned the Ledger-Enquirer.
From the Columbus paper's newsroom, the Sun Herald editors and designers, with the help of Knight Ridder journalists from across the country, produced daily editions of the Sun Herald for eleven days, until power could be restored to Biloxi and the newspaper could be produced at its plant there.
The Sun Herald was awarded the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, along with The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, for coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
