About the paper

A weekly record of what people are actually talking about.

The American Record is a free weekly print newspaper built for the internet age. We turn the fast, fragmented culture of the week into something physical, readable, collectible, and easy to share.

National expansion

From LA to a national footprint.

The American Record is launching with LA energy and national ambition. Distribution starts across 20+ major metros, with new cities added every month as the paper expands into a free weekly record for the country.

Why it exists

The feed moves fast. The city needs a record.

Every week, the internet produces stories, launches, jokes, arguments, trends, offers, openings, and local moments that vanish almost as quickly as they arrive. The American Record gives those moments a place to live.

What we cover
