The Journal Record is a daily business and legal newspaper based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its offices are in downtown Oklahoma City, with bureaus at the Oklahoma State Capitol and in Tulsa.
The Journal Record began publication in 1937, though an early predecessor of the newspaper, the Daily Legal News was first published in Oklahoma City on August 27, 1903.[1] In the 2008 Oklahoma Press Association's Better Newspaper Contest, The Journal Record won awards for its in-depth enterprise and personal columns.[3] Its publisher, Journal Record Publishing Company is an affiliate of The Dolan Company and also publishes Tinker Take Off and The Journal Record Legislative Report.[4]
The Journal Record was the result of a merger of two newspapers, The Daily Law Journal and the Daily Record in 1937.[1] Known then as The Daily Law Journal Record, the paper was published by Freda Ameringer until 1972.[1] Dan Hogan III, who bought the publication from Ameringer, formed the Journal-Record Publishing Company and moved to 621 North Robinson in 1978.[1] Titled The Journal Record from that point on, its location remained the same until the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.[1]
Dolan Media (now The Dolan Company) purchased The Journal Record Publishing Company in 1995 and moved its staff in 1996 to the Dowell Center on North Robinson Avenue. In 2006 the offices were moved to Corporate Tower at 101 North Robinson Avenue.[1] The Journal Record expanded its territory to include the Tulsa region in November 2005 and has added an online edition available only through subscription.
