Our Newspaper

With overwhelming support from area residents and businesses who were left without a local paper, The Recorder launched on June 1, 2024 as an online publication, and then as a printed newspaper on September 13, 2024. Our readership is growing daily as word spreads about our nonprofit, independent, high-quality publication. Our current print circulation is more than 1,700 households with an estimated 4,250 total readers. (Updated November 2024). Full access to our website, online newspaper and weekly newsletters are included for subscribers. Most importantly, our readership is 100% paid — an indication that our readers both want and value The Recorder.
