The Lincoln County Record is a weekly newspaper[3] covering Lincoln County, Nevada.[4] Originally founded as the Ely Record,[1] it is the second oldest weekly newspaper in Nevada.[5] The paper focuses on local stories to provide community journalism.[4]
History
[edit]In 1870, H.R. Pitchford founded the newspaper in Ely.[1] Since then, the paper used a number of locations as a headquarters, including Pioche, Caliente, and Panaca[5] but is now based in Alamo.[3]
The ownership of the Record has changed multiple times. Stephens Media, the then owner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, purchased the paper in 2010.[5] The company sold the paper about two years later to Battle Born Media.[6] Managing editor Ben Rowley bought the paper in 2020.[7][2]
