History

The Burlington Record was founded in 1888.{{Cite web |title=Burlington Record newspaper in Burlington Colorado |url=https://www.mondotimes.com/1/world/us/6/6686/21117#google_vignette |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=MondoTimes}} Prairie Mountain Media closed the paper on July 25, 2024.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2024-07-16 |title=Burlington Record, Plains Dealer to close at end of the month |url=https://www.burlington-record.com/2024/07/16/burlington-record-plains-dealer-to-close-at-end-of-the-month/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=The Burlington Record |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Hutchins |first=Corey |date=2024-07-24 |title='Heartbreaking': 3 Eastern Colorado papers closing, 'things have run their course' |url=https://coloradomedia.substack.com/p/heartbreaking-3-eastern-colorado |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Inside the News in Colorado}} However, Tom Bredehoft, owner of The Flagler News and Mile Saver Shopper, legally claimed the publication’s name and resumed printing of the Burlington Record in August.{{Cite web |last=Simpson |first=Kevin |date=2024-09-22 |title=Amid flurry of newspaper closures on Colorado’s Eastern Plains, Burlington sees a heroic revival |url=https://coloradosun.com/2024/09/22/burlington-record-newspaper-revival/ |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=The Colorado Sun |language=en-US}} But then Bredehoft ceased publishing his other two papers in December after his two biggest advertisers pulled support.
