"On January 16, 1821, the first issue of The Brockville Recorder, the oldest, continuously published newspaper in Ontario, was published by Chauncey Beach. The weekly paper became a daily publication in 1873 and was merged with The Times in 1918 to become the Brockville Recorder and Times.
It remained an independent newspaper until 1998, when Sun Media purchased The Recorder and Times from Hunter Grant and Perry Beverley, whose family owned the paper for more than a century, starting with their great-grandfather, Senator George P. Graham.
In 2006, The Recorder and Times was named the Brockville area’s Business of the Century by the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce.
It is now a proud community newspaper under the Postmedia banner, covering local events and issues of importance in Brockville, Prescott, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and parts of Lanark and Dundas Counties.
The newspaper has seen many changes over the years, in particular its place of business. In 2001, The Recorder and Times shifted operations from its longtime King Street West location to a north-end address at 1600 California Avenue. In 2011, another move saw the paper housed at its current address, 2479 Parkedale Avenue.
The method of delivering the news has also changed significantly, in particular over the past decade. Today, The Recorder and Times is not only the print newspaper of record in the region, but also the primary local news site online, with its website, www.recorder.ca, consistently generating a high number of pageviews for a newspaper its size.
The Recorder and Times now combines a Web-first approach to local news, amplified by a strong social media presence, with traditional print publications on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and a weekly news summary, Brockville This Week, published every Thursday.
But while media can change, sometimes radically, The Recorder and Times remains committed to the same goal that first drove its ancestors nearly two centuries ago: Telling the story of the communities it serves, and providing its readers with the news they need, and often cannot find anywhere else.
