Daily Record

The Daily Record is a seven-day morning daily newspaper based in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey. It serves the greater Morris County area, parts of Essex County, and southwestern suburban communities in the New York metropolitan area. The publication is part of the USA Today Network, the newspaper and digital-news network operated by USA Today Co. The paper is a regional news brand rather than a nationally distributed consumer brand. Its editorial scope is centered on local and community reporting, including public affairs, municipal developments, regional issues, and other news relevant to residents and organizations in its New Jersey coverage area. Its location places it within the broader media market surrounding New York City while retaining a distinct focus on northern New Jersey. Ownership of the Daily Record changed in 1998, when USA Today Co. acquired the newspaper from the Goodson Newspaper Group. Goodson had owned the publication since 1987. Under USA Today Network ownership, the Daily Record operates within a larger newspaper portfolio that combines local editorial identities with shared corporate and digital infrastructure. The brand's principal offering is its daily newspaper, supported by the publication's online presence. Available reference material identifies it as a morning newspaper and does not provide reliable details about its founding date, founders, circulation, revenue, named executives, or specific product lines beyond the newspaper itself.

The Daily Record is a New Jersey regional newspaper headquartered in Parsippany-Troy Hills. It publishes as a seven-day morning daily and is associated with the communities of greater Morris County, portions of Essex County, and the southwestern suburbs of the New York City metropolitan area. The available reference material does not establish the newspaper's original founding year or identify its founder. The publication was owned by the Goodson Newspaper Group beginning in 1987. In 1998, USA Today Co. purchased the Daily Record from Goodson. The acquisition placed the newspaper within the ownership structure that later became associated with the USA Today Network. The paper has retained its local identity while operating as part of that wider newspaper network. Its editorial role is that of a community and regional news outlet. The Daily Record's coverage area includes municipalities and readers in northern New Jersey, where a locally oriented newspaper provides reporting distinct from the larger metropolitan publications serving the New York region. The title's seven-day morning schedule indicates a daily news operation rather than a weekly community publication. The Daily Record's present brand identity is therefore defined by three elements: a northern New Jersey geographic focus, a daily newspaper format, and membership in the USA Today Network. The supplied sources do not provide enough information to document detailed circulation history, newsroom leadership, major campaigns, financial performance, digital-product development, or notable editorial controversies without risking unsupported claims.
