The ''Barren County Progress'' is a weekly newspaper serving Barren County, Kentucky, including the cities of Cave City and Glasgow. The newspaper was founded in the 1960s by Aubrey C. and Dorothy Wilson as ''The Cave City Progress.'' The newspaper expanded its coverage area in the late 1970s, opening a news bureau in Glasgow and changing the name to ''The Barren County Progress.'' Editorial management of the newspaper passed on to A.C. Wilson Jr. at about that same time. The parent company became known as Cave Country Newspapers, which subsequently acquired ''The Hart County News'' and ''The Hart County Herald'' in Hart County, Kentucky. (These newspapers were later consolidated as ''The Hart County News-Herald.'') Under the younger Wilson's leadership, the company also established ''The Monroe County Citizen'' in Tompkinsville and ''The Metcalfe County Light'' in Edmonton, as well as the failed twice-weekly ''Morning Messenger'' in Bowling Green. Wilson Jr. also briefly put the ''Progress'' on a twice-weekly publication schedule in the 1980s, and also dropped the words "Barren County" from the nameplate for several years in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2004, the ''Progress'' and its sister newspapers were sold by Wilson Jr. — by then the sole remaining member of the Wilson family still involved in the business — to Jobe Publishing, Inc., based in Morgantown and publishers of the ''Butler County Banner'' and ''Green River Republican.'' Jobe Publishing subsequently moved their operating headquarters to the Cave Country publishing plant in Horse Cave. The primary competitor of the ''Progress'' is the ''Glasgow Daily Times,'' a daily newspaper based in Glasgow. ==External links== *(Jobe Publishing, Inc. ) 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「Barren County Progress」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
