The Record was first published by Irving Martin on April 7, 1895.[1] Speidel Newspapers, Inc. bought the newspaper from the Martin family in 1969.[2] The company merged with the Gannett Company in 1977[3][4] and sold The Record to the Omaha World-Herald Company in 1994.[5] Ottaway Community Newspapers bought The Record for $144 million in 2003.[6]
The company's name was changed to Dow Jones Local Media Group, and was sold by News Corp in 2013 to Fortress Investment Group for $87 million. The newspapers were managed by GateHouse Media,[7] which soon after the sale filed prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure its debt obligations in order to accommodate the acquisition.[8]
In October 2018, The Record closed its press facility.[9] In 2019, GateHouse merged with Gannett.[10] In March 2024, The Record announced it will switch from carrier to postal delivery.[11]
