The Record-Courier

The Record-Courier is a newspaper that publishes three times a week and is based in Gardnerville, Nevada. It traces its roots back to The Carson Valley News, which was established in 1875 by A.C. Pratt in Genoa, Nevada. In 1880, it was renamed The Genoa Courier and later merged with The Genoa Journal. In 1904, it joined forces with The Gardnerville Record to create The Record-Courier. This publication is one of the oldest newspapers still in circulation in Nevada. In 1988, it was acquired by Swift Communications. The Record-Courier serves the Carson Valley area, which includes parts of Douglas County, Alpine County in California, and Mono County in California, situated in the eastern Sierra Nevada. The newspaper's banner features an original woodcut of the Carson Range, created by cartoonist Lew Hymers in 1928.
