The Anson Record
The Anson Record is an American newspaper based in Wadesboro, North Carolina, covering Anson County, N.C. The "Anson Record" traces its heritage back to 1881, as the "Messenger and Intelligencer" (and "Ansonian"), but the modern "Anson Record" was first published on Jan. 20, 1955.

The newspaper won several awards from the North Carolina Press Association in 2016 including first place in beat news reporting and arts & entertainment reporting, and additional awards for election/political reporting and city/county/government reporting.

The "Record" was previously owned by Heartland Publications. In 2012 Versa Capital Management merged Heartland Publications, Ohio Community Media, the former Freedom papers it had acquired, and Impressions Media into a new company, Civitas Media. Civitas Media sold its properties in the Carolinas to Champion Media in 2017.

Their mission statement is "The Anson Record seeks to provide the news the community needs, reported faithfully and fully, with respect for all and favor to none. We strive to be authoritative and insightful, to inform and to delight."
