History
Established more than 100 years ago, taking on several names from the Waterloo Times, the Waterloo Republican, and now the Republic-Times, our goal to serve the public by bringing them important information and stories from around Monroe County has not changed. The R-T still stays true to its roots, practicing transparency and proper journalism ethics with each photo and story it puts out. Although the ways of sharing information has changed and we continue to strive to bring you the latest in media technologies, the Republic-Times still remains the hometown news source.
