Title

Georgia - The Union-Recorder

Description

According to the newspaper’s website, The Union-Recorder is Georgia’s oldest continuously published newspaper.  It started its publication on account of the 1872 alliance of the two Milledgeville newspapers, the Federal Union, which was founded in 1830 and the Southern Recorder, which was founded in 1820.  In 1806, The Milledgeville Intelligencer began publishing under Alexander McMillian.  Then between 1806 and 1820, the Argus, the Republican, the Reflector, and the Journal began their publication.  However, the Journal was the only newspaper that survived until 1820.  Then Seaton Grantland, who was a former editor of the Journal partnered with Richard M. Orme in order to publish the Southern Recorder.  

According to the newspaper’s website, when the Federal Union was founded in 1830, it started an editorial warfare with the Southern Recorder and that kept going for 40 years until they merged into The Union-Recorder.  Today, The Union-Recorder is published five days every week, which is Tuesday morning through Saturday morning.
