[edit] History

Redding's first newspaper was the Shasta Courier, founded in the 1850s. Then, when Redding was incorporated, in 1887, the name was changed to the Redding Independent. In 1938, the name was changed to the Redding Record Searchlight.


[edit] Going beyond news

The Record Searchlight pays special attention to Redding's rapid growth and ever changing economy. It is known for fundraising for victims of natural disasters, soldiers in Iraq and other problems around the nation and world. Every year the Record Searchlight sponsors dozens of events and activities in the community, including the regional spelling bee.

[edit] Public opinions

The Record Searchlight, and Redding.com, receives a lot of opinions, letters to the editor, blogs, Q&A pages, and comments about articles on Redding.com every day.

[edit] Partnership with KRCR-TV

The Record Searchlight has an extremely limited partnership with KRCR-TV News Channel 7, the ABC affiliate for Northern California. Both news organizations highly advertise each other and E.W. Scripps, the parent company of the Record Searchlight, might buy KRCR-TV in the near future, creating a very dominant news department for a medium-small market, creating more circulation, an expanded website, and wider coverage with KRCR-TV.
