The Reflector is a weekly newspaper that provides coverage of Battle Ground, Washington in the United States and is the legal newspaper of the City of Battle Ground.[2] [3]

The name Reflector comes from a tradition including similar newspaper titles like "Mirror." Norwalk, Ohio and Greenville, North Carolina also have newspapers called the Reflector.[4]

History

The first issue of The Reflector – then located in Ridgefield, Washington – was published on October 8, 1909 by Kelley Loe who shortly thereafter sold it to Ellis B. Hall.[5] [6] In 1946, The Reflector was merged with an existing newspaper in Battle Ground, The Mid-County Record, to become The Mid-County Reflector, later shortened to The Reflector.[7] [8] The headquarters moved to Battle Ground in 1959.

In 2010 The Reflector was purchased by Lafromboise Communications from its owner of the previous 30 years, Marvin Case.[9] [10] At that time, it had a free home delivery circulation of 26,500. Steve Walker, formerly of the Lewis County Daily Chronicle, took over as publisher.[11]

In 2020, Chad and Coralee Taylor, owners of The Silver Agency in Chehalis, purchased the newspaper from Lafromboise Communications owner Jenifer Lafromboise Falcon.[12]
