Of all the island’s newspapers, ours has the best name. The South Whidbey Record — it has a good ring to it, for several reasons.
To start, I love that we’re The Record, rather than a times, examiner, herald or whatever. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all classic and traditional titles, but newspapers are a first draft of history, and nothing speaks to that so clearly as the word “record.” I dig that.
