Newspaper of record
From Free net encyclopedia
A "newspaper of record" is a newspaper which meets one (or both) of two criterion: (1) with high standards of journalism, the articles of which establish a definitive record of current events, for use by future scholars; (2) a newspaper that has complied with some legal requirements to be recognized by the government as permitted to carry public or legal notices and have the notices be recognized as being made public by such publication in that newspaper. Newspapers qualifying under the latter provision are sometimes also referred to as a newspaper of public record.
In English language countries newspapers of record have generally been broadsheet, although now some of these publications have switched or are planning to switch to a tabloid/compact format, generally as a cost-cutting measure. Newspapers of record are usually found internationally at newsstands as representative of the publishing country's news. In some countries, newspapers of record may be the only ones that schoolchildren, particularly those in private schools, may quote from, or even be seen with in school. Newspapers of record generally have strong editors and proprietors and are allowed to hold independent views from those of their proprietor.
