''The Post-Crescent'' is a daily newspaper based in Appleton, Wisconsin. Part of the Gannett chain of newspapers, it is primarily distributed in numerous counties surrounding the Appleton area. ==History== ''The Appleton Crescent'' was formed in 1853 as a weekly newspaper, the same year that Appleton became a village.〔(Myrna Collins "The Post-Crescent History" February 10 2003 ), Retrieved January 1, 2007〕 The ''Crescent'' was a determinedly Democratic newspaper, created by Samuel, James and John Ryan.〔 The ''Crescents Jacksonian Democratic politics upset Republicans, and a second newspaper, ''The Appleton Motor'', was formed by F.C. Meade on August 18, 1859. Meade was soon joined by Ryan's brother Francis.〔 While the two newspapers were bitter rivals, they did cooperate at times. When the ''Crescent'' suffered serious damage in 1863 from apparent arson, the ''Motor'' ran an article condemning the act. The ''Motor'' changed its name to ''The Appleton Post'' in 1887 after changing hands several times. The ''Posts buildings were damaged that year, and donations from the ''Crescent'' kept the paper open. ''The Appleton Post-Crescent'' was formed when the ''Post'' and the ''Crescent'' merged on February 2, 1920. The first paper was published on February 10, 1920. Editors decided to not align with either political party.〔 ''The Appleton Post-Crescent'' decided to purchase the ''Twin City News-Record'', which had been formed when the Menasha Record and the Neenah News Times merged in 1949. The "Appleton" portion of the name was removed in 1964 to reflect that the newspaper reached farther than the city limits.〔 Publisher V.I. Minahan coined the term "Fox Cities" in 1953, which is now a common term to describe the metropolitan Appleton area.〔 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 Post-Crescent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
