''Gambit'' is a New Orleans, Louisiana-based free alternative weekly newspaper that was established in 1981. ''Gambit'' features reporting about local politics, news, food and drink, arts, music, film, events, environmental issues and other topics, as well as listings. ''Gambit'' publishes 40,000 papers each Tuesday, which are distributed to 400 locations in the New Orleans metro area beginning Sunday afternoon. The paper's columnists include political editor Clancy DuBos, who is also a political analyst and commentator on (WWL-TV ). Past columnists have included Chris Rose, Andrei Codrescu and Ronnie Virgets. (Jeremy Alford ) is a contributing writer based in Baton Rouge, who writes on statewide issues and has won several (Louisiana Press Association ) awards for his coverage. Regular features include "Scuttlebutt" (political news briefs), and "Bouquets & Brickbats," weekly awards for the city's "heroes and zeroes." ''Gambit'' also publishes a weekly editorial and issues endorsements in many political races, with two notable exceptions; it does not endorse in national elections, nor does it endorse in judicial elections (on a longstanding political belief that judges should be appointed, not elected). The paper has won many local and national honors, and former ''Gambit'' writer Katy Reckdahl was awarded both Hunter College's James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism in 2002 for her series on the mistreatment of the homeless,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism Recipients )〕 as well as a 2002 Casey Journalism Center Medal for Distinguished Coverage of Children and Family Issues for her report titled "Louisiana Juvenile Justice" on the Tallulah Correctional Center for Youth .

The paper also sponsors the annual Big Easy Theater Awards and Big Easy Music Awards, honoring New Orleans' best performing artists. On October 1, 2007, ''Gambit'' launched (Blog of New Orleans ) to supplement its Web site (Best of New Orleans ) with daily updates on New Orleans news, politics, arts, music, sports, cuisine and local culture. Its other publications include ''CUE,'' a monthly home and fashion magazine; ''H+W,'' a monthly health supplement; and ''WED,'' a twice-annual bridal guide. In January 2009, the paper changed its name from ''Gambit Weekly'', to which it had been renamed in 1996, back to ''Gambit'', the name under which it was originally founded in 1981. ==References== 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「Gambit (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
