History

The first paper in Miami, Oklahoma was The Miami Weekly Chief, founded by Charles Dagnet and John Warren, and had a circulation of about 100.[3] Founded in 1892, the publication was purchased by L. Dragoo just two years later and folded into his newly launched effort The Weekly Herald.[4][3] 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]

In 1989, Woodson Newspapers was sold to Boone-Narrangansett Publishing.[7]

In January 2000, American Consolidated Media bought the News-Record from Boone Publishing.[8]

In 2014, prior owner American Consolidated Media sold its Texas and Oklahoma newspapers to New Media Investment Group.[9]

In 2017, the News-Record reduced its publication schedule to two days a week.[10]
