BENTONVILLE — The Benton County Daily Record will open its new newsroom Wednesday.
The leased space is at 304 S.W. 16th St. Suite 14 in Bentonville. Northwest Arkansas Newspapers, owner of the Daily Record, sold the old downtown newspaper building at 104 S.W. A St. to Record Properties in November.
Daily Record customers can use the Rogers Morning News office, 313 S. Second St. in Rogers, or the Weekly Vista office, 313 Town Center West in Bella Vista, on Monday and Tuesday.
The company is searching for a location for a circulation distribution center in Bentonville. Northwest Arkansas Newspapers will lease the downtown building from the new owner on a month-to-month basis until a location is found, said Jeff Jeffus, president of Northwest Arkansas Newspapers.
Northwest Arkansas Newspapers is a joint venture that formed in 2009, equally owned by Wehco Media and Stephens Media.
In addition to the Daily Record, the company also owns the Rogers Morning News, Springdale Morning News, Northwest Arkansas Times in Fayetteville and the Northwest Arkansas edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in addition to several weekly newspapers, magazines and websites.
