Prosser Record-Bulletin

The Prosser Record-Bulletin is a newspaper serving Prosser, Washington and the surrounding area (including Benton City, Washington and Whitstran, Washington). The community was formerly served by four competing newspapers at the turn of the 20th century. The American was established in 1893 and only ran for three years and was bought out by the new Prosser Record. The Prosser Falls Bulletin ceased publication in 1902 and was replaced with the Republican Bulletin in 1907. The Benton Independent was established in 1909 and was consolidated into the Record in 1913, becoming the Independent Record five years later. On July 1, 1920, the Republican Bulletin and Independent Record were merged into the Prosser Record Bulletin, which continues to serve the Prosser area.
