The Record (now known as Recordnet in its online form) began in 1895 as the Stockton Evening Record under the ownership of Irving L. Martin Sr. Martin, at just 30 years old, started the newspaper with a pledge to print "ALL the news," setting it apart from other dailies in Stockton, California. The paper grew alongside the city, becoming an integral part of the community. Today, The Record and its online platform Recordnet are owned by Gannett Co., Inc., which acquired the publication as part of its expansion in the media market. Recordnet, based in Stockton, California, covers a wide range of news topics including local and regional news, sports, politics, entertainment, lifestyle, and business. The website serves as the digital platform for The Record newspaper, providing news and information for San Joaquin and Calaveras Counties. They offer both print and digital subscriptions, allowing readers to access content through their website, mobile app, and e-newspaper. **One interesting fact**: An intriguing aspect of The Record's history is its founder's dedication to having a clear view of the city's Fourth of July fireworks. In the mid-1930s, Irving Martin Sr. not only built his home on North Edison Street but also purchased the lot directly behind it on North Baker Street, keeping it vacant solely to ensure an unobstructed view of the fireworks over Yosemite Lake from his back porch.
