On October 17, 1938, the John P. Scripps Newspaper Group published the first edition of the Redding Record. By 1952, after a series of acquisitions of other regional newspapers, the paper had become the region's dominant daily newspaper, operating under the name Redding Record Searchlight.{{cite web|url=https://static.redding.com/about-us/|title=About Us|access-date=2024-01-28}}
