The Review was a bi-weekly newspaper based in Reidsville North Carolina, based in Rockingham County, North Carolina. It was published under that name between 1899 - 2017.[1] In 2017, it merged with two other newspapers in Rockingham County (the Eden News and the Madison Messenger); all three papers are owned by BH Media and publish under the name Rockingham Now.[2]

Started in 1888 by Edward Gilliam and J.C. Womack. The Review merged with a two-page newspaper called The Democrat in later 1888.

The Review became a daily newspaper in 1934, but now serves as a bi-weekly paper along with the Eden Daily News and Madison Messenger.

The newspaper has been under three different owners between 1997-2020:

  • The Review was owned by Media General. Media General bought the Review, Eden News and Madison Messenger in 1997.[3]
  • The newspaper was purchased by Berkshire Hathaway in 2012.[4]
  • In 2020, Warren Buffet sold the paper to Lee Enterprises.[5]
