The Record-Courier is an American daily newspaper in Portage County, Ohio, based in Ravenna.

[2] It is published by Gannett of Tysons Corner, Virginia, after having previously been owned by Dix Communications of Kent and Wooster, Ohio, until 2017.

In 1854 it merged with the Home Companion and Whig to become the Portage County Democrat, which supported the Free Soil Party and the Know Nothings.

[5][6] In March 2019, an investigation by Snopes found that the name "Ohio Star" was used by Republican consultants as one of many propaganda websites disguised as local news sites that would promote the politicians who hired them.

After Gannett purchased Gatehouse Media,[10] most former Record-Courier staff members who served under Dix Communications leadership staffers were absorbed by the Akron Beacon Journal (also a Gannett property), left the newspaper for new jobs, were bought out or laid off.
