History

The paper was founded in 1880 as the Park Mining Record, edited by James Shupback. After two editorial changes, Sam Raddon, formerly with the Salt Lake Tribune, had taken over editor- and ownership, and the newspaper began to establish itself as an "outspoken and critical" paper--"anti-everything, including anti-Mormon, anti-Chinese, and anti-Indian." Raddon added several small, failing papers to the Record, which he led for half a decade.[1]

In 2023, the paper was sold by Swift Communications to Tatiana and Matthew Prince. The couple plan to convert the paper to a nonprofit or public benefit corporation.[2] Matthew Prince is a billionaire who co-founded and is the CEO of the internet infrastructure and cybersecurity company Cloudflare.[3]
