The Record Newspaper Information

The Record (colloquially called The Bergen Record or The Record of Hackensack) is a newspaper in northern New Jersey, United States. It has the second largest circulation of New Jersey's daily newspapers, behind The Star-Ledger. Owned by the Borg family since 1930, it is the flagship publication of the North Jersey Media Group. Stephen Borg is the publisher of The Record. The paper is edited by Martin Gottlieb.

In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, a photographer for The Record, Thomas E. Franklin, took a photograph of three firefighters raising an American flag over the rubble of what had been the World Trade Center. This became an iconic photo known as Ground Zero Spirit. The photo accompanied an article written by Jeannine Clegg, a reporter for The Record. The Record owns the rights to the photograph but has licensed it in exchange for donations to September 11 causes, as long as the photo is used in a "dignified and proper manner" for non-commercial purposes.
