The Record-Courier (Baker City)

In 1928, newspaper owner Charles M. Brinton bought the North Powder News (1901) and the Haines Record (1903). He would merge them with the Huntington Courier (1930)^[2] in 1934 to create The Record-Courier.^[3]

Brinton's son, Byron "By" Brinton, served as the paper's editor from 1934 to 1999. He also served as publisher from 1959 to 2004. His son, Byron Dorsey " RonD" Brinton, took over as editor in 1999 and publisher in 2004. With By's passing in 2005 and RonD's in 2006, RonD's brother Greg Brinton took over. He would go on to sell the paper to Lynn and Gina Perkins.^[4]

In July 2016, The Record-Courier announced through a post on its Facebook page that it would be closing. The post read:

"Because of health reasons, the Record-Courier is closed and won't be printing any further editions until further notice. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your kindness and support."
