The Boston Record was founded on September 3, 1884, by The Boston Daily Advertiser as an evening campaign newspaper. The Record was so popular that it was made a permanent publication.[1] It was the first tabloid-format newspaper in New England.

Begun as the Afternoon Record, it was bought by William Randolph Hearst in 1921 and known as the Daily Record by the 1930s.[2] It was merged with another Hearst newspaper, the Evening American, to form the Record American in 1961. In 1972, this was merged into the Boston Herald-Traveler, which later became the Boston Herald.

Notable staff[edit]

  • Leo Monahan – sports journalist who wrote for the Daily Record and the Record American[3]
