EspañolTHE RECORD (BERGEN COUNTY)
:''For other uses of 'The Record', see The Record.''
'''The Record''' (also called '''The Bergen Record''' or '''The Record of Hackensack'''[2] although neither have been the newspaper's official name) has the second largest circulation of New Jersey's daily newspapers, behind ''The Star-Ledger''.[3] It is published by North Jersey Media Group, which is owned and operated by the Borg family. The paper is edited by Frank Scandale; Vivian Waixel is executive editor and vice president for the Daily Division, which also encompasses the West Paterson-based ''Herald News'', which serves Passaic County.
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, a photographer for ''The Record'', Thomas E. Franklin, took a photograph of three fire fighters raising an American flag over the rubble of the what had been the World Trade Center. This became an internationally famed photo known as Ground Zero Spirit that many have compared to Joe Rosenthal's famous photo of Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.
The Record owns the rights to the photograph but has liberally licensed it in exchange for donation to September 11 causes, as long as the photo is used in a "dignified and proper manner" for non-commercial purposes.[4]
According to Governor James E. McGreevey in his book "The Confession" (ISBN 0-06-089862-3) published in 2006, the Record was the first newspaper to break the news of a relationship between McGreevey and Golan Cipel that was to lead to McGreevey's resignation. McGreevey brought up Cipel's name six weeks into his administration in a February 14, 2002 interview with the Record editorial board at its offices saying:
:We will not skimp on security. We actually brought on a security advisor from the Israel Defense Forces, probably the best in the world."
The interview prompted news investigation into Cipel's background and on February 21, the Record published a profile of Golan calling him a "sailor" and a "poet." The article said:
:Democrats close to the administration say McGreevey and Cipel have struck up a close friendship and frequently travel together.
The article prompted McGreevey's own mother to ask him if he was gay and stirred various media organizations to send reporters to Israel to ask questions about Cipel and his background and childhood friends.
