"North Carolina Paper Accused of Making Up Quotes" E&P Staff July 28, 2005 By: Lesley Messer

Newsroom diversity report for The Reidsville Review/Eden Daily News. From a report for the Knight Foundation by Bill Dedman and Stephen K. Doig, June 2005. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CogSciLibrarian (talk • contribs) 14:17, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

No Longer Publishing
I suspect that the print newspaper is no longer publishing. My first stop for a North Carolina newspaper is the N.C. Press Association Directory, which indicates that the only publication in Reidsville is the website RockinghamNow.com. The research website also indicates that the only news source in Rockingham County is the RockinghamNow.com website

I then checked the Library of Congress Chronicling America directory of newspapers, which in this case indicates that the paper has ceased publication:

There is no mention on the RockinghamNow.com of the Reidsville Review itself, though the page mentions that it covers the town of Reidsville. All of that led me to indicate that the paper has ceased publication.

However, the database America's News, which UNC has access to for North Carolina newspaper archives, does list recent articles from the Reidsville Review. One of them, "The Power of Music: Rock-Aid's Facebook Live concert Friday to raise funds for hungry kids" was "published" Spear Susie C. (sspear@rockinghamnow.com). "The Power of Music: Rock-Aid's Facebook Live concert Friday to raise funds for hungry kids." Reidsville Review, The (NC), sec. Lifestyles, 22 Apr. 2020. NewsBank: America's News – Historical and Current,. Accessed 25 May 2020 It is also on the RockinghamNow website on April 22, 2020, by Susie C. Spear sspear@rockinghamnow.com. 

A quick search of the site RockinghamNow does not mention its relationship to the Reidsville Reivew. I then searched site:rockinghamnow.com "reidsville review" to see what was on the website about the newspaper. No results in Google. I did a simiar search on greensboro.com and found this article mentioning the merger: "Introducing RockinghamNow: Your new countywide newspaper // Eden News, Madison Messenger, Reidsville Review merge into one" By Gerri Hunt gerri.hunt@rockinghamnow.com May 16, 2017

Further searching finds an article on the N.C. Press Association website on June 7, 2017: RockinghamNow will replace three community newspapers in county north of Greensboro

So, I will update the page to indicate that the Reidsville Review stopped publishing under that name in May 2017. CogSciLibrarian (talk) 12:52, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
