History

In December 1894, A. R. Bowen & Co. published the first issue of The Searchlight in Redding. At that time the morning newspaper was affiliated with the People's Party.[2] It's founder was M. E. Dittmar who owned the paper for five years.[3]

In October 1899, the paper was purchased by Mel G. Johnson and J. W. Brackett.[4] In 1905, Johnson sold his half-interest in The Searchlight to his business partner Brackett.[5] In 1909, Brackett retired and sold the paper to Herbert Lyle Moody,[6][7] who ran the paper for over a decade until selling it in 1925 to his son Herbert G. Moody.[8] He sold the paper in 1936 to Walter H. Fink, owner of the Courier-Free Press[9]

On October 17, 1938, the John P. Scripps Newspaper Group published the first edition of the afternoon newspaper Redding Record.[10][11] In April 1941, Scripps bought The Searchlight and Courier-Free Press from Fink and consolidated the three papers together to form the Redding Record Searchlight.[12]

In 2014, Scripps purchased Journal Media Group and transferred ownership of the Record Searchlight to the company.[13] It then sold the newspaper group in April 2016 to Gannett and the Record Searchlight became part of the USA Today network.[14] In May 2024, the newspaper announced it will switch from carrier to postal delivery.[15]
