United States ] published in Middletown, Orange County, New York, New York. The Sunday edition is published as The Sunday Record. It covers news from Orange County, New York and Sullivan County, New York county, where it is the only daily. It also maintains a substantial presence in Ulster County, New York county, particularly in the southern portion, in addition to the northeastern part of Pike County, Pennsylvania. Every Friday, an insert called The Gazette covers community news in Pike County and Port Jervis, New York. It is owned by Ottaway Community Newspapers, a subsidiary of Dow Jones and Company.

It is published in a tabloid format and was the first offset printing in the country.

History The Record is the combination of two papers, one venerable and one fairly newer. The Times-Herald had been in existence in some form in the city of Middletown since 1851, but under Ralph Ingersoll's ownership had the market to itself in the 20th century. In 1956, however, J.M. Kaplan started publishing the Middletown Daily Record, the first daily U.S. newspaper to use cold type, from a garage on North Street and there was competition again. The new paper grew to a daily Newspaper circulation of 19,000 within three years but lost a lot of money in the process.

As the decade ended, James Ottaway was negotiating with Ingersoll to buy the Times-Herald and the Port Jervis Union-Gazette. A few months after he acquired both papers, Kaplan, who had been trying unsuccessfully to sell Ingersoll the Record, persuaded Ottaway to do so instead.

Ottaway tried to convert the paper to a broadsheet, but restored the original format after three months. In October 1960 the two papers were merged into their current form. The Sunday Record began in 1969, shortly after Ottaway itself was acquired by Dow Jones.

Prominent former employees A.N. Romm was hired as the first managing editor, a position he held for 20 years, and spent several more years as editorial page editor. In his tenure at the paper, "Al" Romm won numerous awards for his editorials, even when The Record was in direct competition with large papers such as The New York Times. He was most famous for his role in bringing Woodstock Festival to Bethel, New York in 1969, and discussed it regularly in subsequent years. 1969 Woodstock Festival and Concert - How it Happened, Part 2, author unknown, undated, retrieved November 12, 2006.

After retiring, he and his wife returned to her native France and lived in Paris, but came back to Middletown where they lived until his death in 2005.

Glenn Doty, one of the paper's former managing editors, later trained hundreds of student journalists at The Legislative Gazette, a student-run newspaper covering state government in Albany, New York operated jointly by the State University of New York campuses at State University of New York at New Paltz and State University of New York at Albany. Many went on to work at other newspapers.

Hunter S. Thompson had an immemorable stint with the paper. The future creator of gonzo journalism was a sportswriting and briefly a reporter for what was then the Daily Record in 1959, between jobs at Time (magazine) and El Sportivo in Puerto Rico. He was fired by Editor A.N. Romm after vandalism an office vending machine that had taken his money and arguing with the owner of a local restaurant who was a major advertiser in the paper.Burkhart, Wade; undated; About us, Times Herald-Record; retrieved November 12, 2006. Neither Romm nor Thompson regretted the action.
