History
[edit]The Anson Record traces its heritage back to 1881, as the Messenger and Intelligencer (and Ansonian), but the modern Anson Record was first published on Jan. 20, 1955.[6][7]
The Record was previously owned by Heartland Publications. In 2012 Versa Capital Management merged Heartland Publications, Ohio Community Media, the former Freedom papers it had acquired, and Impressions Media into a new company, Civitas Media.[8] Civitas Media sold its properties in the Carolinas toChampion Media in 2017.[9]
