''The Oldie'' is a monthly magazine launched in 1992 by Richard Ingrams, who for 22 years was the magazine's editor following 23 years in the same post at ''Private Eye''.〔William Turvill ("Private Eye co-founder Richard Ingrams, 76, retires after judging himself 'too old' to attend Oldie disciplinary hearing" ), ''Press Gazette'', 30 May 2014〕 In June 2014, after Ingrams's dispute with the magazine's publisher led to his departure, Alexander Chancellor became the editor.〔Harry Mount ("Richard Ingrams on his successor at The Oldie: 'He’s a bloody fool for taking the job’" ), ''Daily Telegraph'', 12 June 2014〕 ==History and outline== The magazine was founded in 1992 by Richard Ingrams, previously editor of ''Private Eye'', together with Auberon Waugh, Alexander Chancellor and Stephen Glover. The magazine aimed to contrast with youth culture. ''The Independent on Sunday'' described it as "The most original magazine in the country". It carries general-interest articles, humour and cartoons, and its contributors include James Le Fanu, John Sweeney, Thomas Stuttaford, Virginia Ironside, Melanie McDonagh and Raymond Briggs. It is sometimes regarded as a haven for "grumpy old men and women"—an image it has played up to over the years with such slogans as "''The Oldie'': Buy it before you snuff it", and its lampooning of youth subculture and what it sees as the absurdities of modern life. It was first mainstream publication to break the Jimmy Savile sex scandal. Despite being called ''The Oldie'', the magazine often stresses that it is not an age-specific publication, and has many readers in their twenties, thirties and forties. It has similarities to ''Punch'', ''Viz'', ''The Spectator'', ''Private Eye'', and ''The New Yorker''. After a series of clashes with the publisher James Pembroke, Richard Ingrams resigned as editor at the end of May 2014,〔 and Alexander Chancellor was appointed his successor as editor in mid-June 2014.〔 A number of contributors resigned in sympathy with Ingrams before and after Chancellor's appointment.〔William Turvill ("Two more Oldie contributors leave: 'It will not be the same magazine without Richard Ingrams'" ), ''Press Gazette'', 10 June 2014〕〔William Turvill ("Six more Oldie contributors and 'irreplaceable' sub-editor follow Richard Ingrams out of the door" ), ''Press Gazette'', 13 June 2014〕 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「The Oldie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
