The ''Prince Rupert Daily News'' was a daily newspaper in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, closed in 2010. Its last owner was Black Press, the largest publisher of weekly newspapers in British Columbia, which owns the competing weekly ''Northern View''. The ''Daily News'' traced its history back to 1911, having also published under the names ''Evening Empire'' and ''Prince Rupert Optimist''. By 2010 the newspaper had only approximately 750 subscribers, and was in a financial decline, similar to the struggling port community it covered. Black Press purchased the ''Daily News'' in July 2010, as part of a larger deal that saw Glacier Media sell several of its British Columbia papers, mostly weeklies, to Black. Former Black executive Don Kendall bought Glacier dailies in Cranbrook and Kimberley as part of the same deal, remarking that Black "wasn't as interested in some titles – Cranbrook, Kimberley, Nelson, and Prince Rupert – but Glacier was only selling the papers as a block." Black did purchase the ''Nelson Daily News'' and ''Prince Rupert Daily News'' in 2010, and ended up closing them days later. It already owned competing weeklies in both markets, the ''Nelson Star'' and ''The Northern View''.〔 Rick O'Connor, Black's chief operating officer, said the Nelson and Prince Rupert newspapers, along with two other weeklies shuttered the same day, had lost $1 million in the past year. Black purchased the ''Daily Townsman'' and ''Daily Bulletin'' from Kendall a year later, promising that both "will continue to run under their current business plan and we anticipate few changes." ==See also== *''Nelson Daily News'' *List of newspapers in Canada 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「Prince Rupert Daily News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
