The Midland Record was Ireland's first provincial newspaper that existed in an online only format.^{[citation needed]} It was created in December 2010 by a journalist from the Irish midlands and began publishing articles in February 2011.

The Midland Record focused on County Tipperary, County Laois, and County Offaly and offered local people interactive news updated daily.

The journalist who started The Midland Record is Darren Keegan, from Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland. Formerly a reporter for The Nenagh Guardian, The Midland Tribune and briefly with The Sunday Tribune. Keegan subsequently reported for The Midland Tribune based in Birr, County Offaly.^{[citation needed]}
