The first paper in Miami was The Miami Weekly Chief, founded by Charles Dagnet and John Warren, with a circulation of about 100.[3] Founded in 1892, the publication was purchased by L. Dragoo two years later and folded into his newly launched effort, The Weekly Herald.[3][4] In 1897, The Record was founded by H.C. Brandon; the two Democratic weeklies would be merged with the Herald to form the Miami Record-Herald in 1904.[3][5] The Record-Herald went to a daily publication schedule in 1917.[3] A subsequent merger with the Republican Miami District Daily News in 1924 produced the earliest News-Record.[3][6] From 1928 to 1962, it was the Miami Daily News-Record. On September 16, 1962, it began publishing under the banner Miami News-Record.[7]
