The ''Lethbridge Herald'' is the leading daily newspaper in greater Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. It is owned by Alta Newspaper Group and also publishes and distributes a weekly newspaper, the ''Lethbridge Sun Times''. ==Early history== On 8 November 1905, Fred E. Simpson and A.S. Bennett — both from Cranbrook, British Columbia — published the first issue of the ''Lethbridge Weekly Herald''. The paper started in a building on what is now Fifth Street South.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 Shortly after the launch of the ''Weekly Herald'', William Ashbury Buchanan bought a half interest in the paper, and by the end of 1906 was its sole owner. Buchanan came from a newspaper career in Ontario and managed a staff of six and circulation of 300 within the first year. On 11 December 1907, he had introduced a daily paper titled the ''Lethbridge Daily Herald''. The weekly continued as a separate paper until 1950.〔 Buchanan, like Bennett and Simpson before him, used the ''Herald'' to trumpet his belief in Lethbridge's potential as a commercial centre. In 1925, at the age of 49, he was named to the Canadian Senate, and remained both senator and publisher for the next 29 years, dividing his time between Ottawa and Lethbridge.〔 Through the 1930s, all employees at the ''Lethbridge Herald'' took a pay cut of equal percentage. One year the profits of the ''Herald'' amounted to only $138. During the Second World War, fifteen of the ''Herald'' employees left for military service.〔 In 1909, Buchanan had moved the paper to a location near Sixth Street and Third Avenue South. On 23 May 1952, Buchanan moved the ''Lethbridge Daily Herald'' to its current location on Seventh Street South, a location that had double the amount of floor space as the previous building.〔 Buchanan died in 1954, and his son Hugh Buchanan took over as owner of the paper.〔 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「Lethbridge Herald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
