The Review was a bi-weekly newspaper based in Reidsville North Carolina, based in Rockingham County, North Carolina. It was published under that name between 1899 - 2017. [1] In 2017, it merged with two other newspapers in Rockingham County (the Eden Daily News and the Madison Messenger); all three papers publish under the name Rockingham Now. [2]

History

Started in 1888 by Edward Gilliam and J.C. Womack. The Review merged with a two-page newspaper called The Democrat in later 1888. It was called the Weekly Review from 1888 to 1898. [3] The Review was published as a semiweekly paper from 1899 to 1922 and then triweekly from 1922 to 1934, when it became a daily newspaper in 1934 (except Saturday and Sunday). [4] In 1998, it became a morning paper, publishing Tuesday through Friday and Sunday. [5] In 2009, the paper began publishing only two days per week, Wednesday and Sunday. [6] [7]

The newspaper has been under three different owners between 1997 and 2020:

In 2017 the paper was merged with two other Rockingham County papers, Eden Daily News and the Madison Messenger, forming RockinghamNow. [11]
