The ''Edmonton Journal'' is a daily newspaper in Edmonton, Alberta. It is part of the Postmedia Network. ==History== The ''Journal'' was founded in 1903 by three local businessmen — John Macpherson, Arthur Moore and J.W. Cunningham — as a rival to Alberta's first newspaper, the 23-year-old ''Edmonton Bulletin''. Within a week, the ''Journal'' took over another newspaper, ''The Edmonton Post'', and established an editorial policy supporting the Conservative party against the ''Bulletins pro-Liberal stance. In 1912, the ''Journal'' was sold to the Southam family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edmonton Journal Historical Information )〕 It remained under Southam ownership until 1996, when it was acquired by Hollinger International.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hollinger International Inc. - Company History )〕 The ''Journal'' was subsequently sold to Canwest in 2000, and finally came under its current ownership, Postmedia Network Inc., in 2010.〔(Godfrey group buys Canwest ) ''The National Post'', 11 May 2010〕 In 1905, ''The Journal'' began operating from a building on the corner of a lot on 102nd Avenue and 101st Street. Its present location at 101st Street and 100th Avenue was established in 1921, and Alberta's first radio station, CJCA, began broadcasting from the building a year later.〔 In 1937, the ''Journal'' came into conflict with Alberta Premier William Aberhart's attempt to pass the ''Accurate News and Information Act'' requiring newspapers to print government rebuttals to stories the provincial cabinet deemed "inaccurate." After successfully fighting the law, the ''Journal'' became the first non-American newspaper to be honoured by the Pulitzer Prize committee, receiving a special bronze plaque in 1938 for defending the freedom of the press.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Pulitzer Prizes - Special Awards and Citations )〕 After the ''Bulletin'' folded in 1951, the ''Journal'' was left as Edmonton's oldest and only remaining daily newspaper. The monopoly continued until ''The Edmonton Sun'' began publishing in 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0007787 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmonton Journal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
