English language newspaper based in Sherbrooke,Quebec ,Canada . It serves theEastern Townships region of that province.Launched on
February 9 ,1897 , and originally known as the "Sherbrooke Daily Record", it is one of only two English language daily newspapers in Quebec, the other being the much larger "Montreal Gazette ".For the past several years, "The Record" has been, unusually, a daily
community newspaper for theanglophone minority in the Eastern Townships, without comprehensive coverage of national and world news. No longer a member of theCanadian Press newswire , it carries scattered national items from the CanWest News Service and other sources."Talk", or "Talk of the Townships", a weekly television and arts and cultural insert, appears every Friday. Periodic sections focus on individual communities within the Record's service area.
Future Canadian
media baron sJohn Bassett andConrad Black both got their starts in newspaper ownership as owner and co-owner, respectively, of the "Sherbrooke Daily Record".For years "The Record "was owned by Black's
Hollinger International . In January 2006 it was purchased by Glacier Ventures International.ee also
