The Lincoln County Record is a weekly newspaper[4] covering Lincoln County, Nevada.[5] Originally founded as the Ely Record,[1] it is the second oldest weekly newspaper in Nevada.[6] The paper focuses on local stories to provide community journalism for the rural area.[5]

History

In 1870 or 1871, H.R. Pitchford founded the newspaper in Ely by printing it out of a tent.[1] Since then, the paper used a number of locations as a headquarters, including Pioche, Caliente, and Panaca[6] but is now based in Alamo.[7] In 2011, local reporter Rachel Williford won first place as a Journalist of Merit from the Nevada Press Association.[8]

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.[6] The company then sold it about two years later to Battle Born Media.[9] Battle Born planned to close the paper in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, until long-term managing editor Ben Rowley purchased it.[2][7] As of 2024, publishing legal notices provided about 35% of the paper's income.
