draft[edit]

Nice article! There was an earlier draft of this, I've restored it. Might have some content worth merging.[[Draft:Battle Ground Reflector ]] -Pete Forsyth (talk) 05:54, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the draft content in case anyone wants to do a careful comparison

The Battle Ground Reflector is a newspaper serving Battle Ground in the U.S. state of Washington. It was established in 1909.^[1]

The Ridgefield Reflector merged with the Battle Ground Mid-County Reflector in 1946.^[2] The headquarters moved to Battle Ground in 1959.

After 100 years of local ownership, it was purchased in 2010 by Lafromboise Communications Inc., a publisher based in Centralia, Washington, 80 miles to the north. At that time, it had a free home delivery circulation of 26,500.^[2] Steve Walker, formerly of the Lewis County Daily Chronicle, took over as publisher.^[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]
