''Newswest'' is a community publication serving a number of communities within Canada's National Capital Region. Newswest is a wholly Canadian publication and not related to the 1980s U.S. newspaper NewsWest, previously owned by Tab Communications. Newswest was founded in October 1978 with help from the ''Canada Works'' federal program of the time.〔"Newswest celebrates first year", Newswest, October 1979, pg 1.〕 Early on, it moved its headquarters into the old Westboro Community Centre on Dovercourt Avenue for 5 years prior to that property's conversion to a recreation centre.〔"The names behind Newswest, How your community newspaper functions.", Francis Rolleston, Newswest, February 1982, pg 6.〕〔"On putting out the paper...", Judi Dupuis, Newswest, November 1985〕〔"NEWSWEST needs help.", Newswest, October 1986, pg 1.〕 When the neighbouring Hintonburg News ceased operation, Newswest expanded its coverage into the now defunct Elmdale Ward in 1998.〔"Newswest to service Hintonburg.", Newswest, March 1998〕 Newswest is one of the longest surviving community newspapers in Ottawa. It operates as a non-profit corporation and is published 12 times a year inside ''Kitchissippi Times'' with a circulation of well over 16,000 copies.〔"A minimum of 17,600 copies distributed..." Kitchissippi Times (inc. Newswest), Jan. 15, 2009, vol. 6, iss. 7, pg 4.〕 The inclusion of Newswest in Kitchissippi Times began in 2003 after an agreement on advertising revenue was reached between the 2 papers.〔"(Thanks Newswest )", Jeff Leiper, November 25, 2013.〕 Since that time Kitchissippi Times handles all advertising allowing Newswest to focus on its non-profit community content. Kitchissippi Times is published 24 times per year so the editors of the 2 papers share responsibility on things like the Community Calendar section. Newswest covers the area bordered (east to west) by the O-Train Trillium Line and Woodroofe Avenue, and between the Ottawa River and Carling Avenue. This area includes the neighbourhoods of Mechanicsville, Hintonburg, Champlain Park, West Wellington, Hampton Park, Westboro Beach, Westboro, Highland Park, McKellar Park, Carlingwood and the Civic Hospital. Most of the articles to Newswest are provided by local volunteer writers and photographers. Additionally, columns from the local representatives for 3 levels of government and the public school board appear regularly.〔"(Recent Story Archive List. )"〕 The current editor of Newswest is Tim Thibeault. ==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「Newswest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
