Who we are

The Record is one of the largest weeklies in the state and has been honored by the Arkansas Press Association for its coverage of news, sports, photos, columns, special sections, advertising and overall general excellence. It is the only consistent source of hard news, school information, social notes, law enforcement reports, business happenings, and local sports focused entirely on Madison County. The paper has won 57 Arkansas Press Association editorial awards over the last nine years. For its coverage of local business and the community, The Record was honored to receive the Huntsville Area Chamber of Commerce’s coveted Star Award in 2013. We believe that when our advertisers’ business succeeds, we succeed.
