History

[edit]

On October 17, 1938, the John P. Scripps Newspaper Group published the first edition of the Redding Record. By 1952, after a series of acquisitions of other regional newspapers, the paper had become the region's dominant daily newspaper, operating under the name Redding Record Searchlight.[4]

In April 2016, as part of Gannett's acquisition of Journal Media Group, the Record Searchlight became part of the USA Today network.[5]

In May 2024, the newspaper announced it will switch from carrier to postal delivery.[6]
