The ''Concord Monitor'' is the daily newspaper for Concord, the state capital of New Hampshire. It also covers surrounding towns in Merrimack, most of Belknap county, as well as portions of Grafton, Rockingham and Hillsborough counties. The ''Monitor'' has several times been named as one of the best small papers in America and in April 2008, the ''Monitor'' became a Pulitzer Prize winning paper, when photographer Preston Gannaway was honored for feature photography. 〔()〕 Its website has included blogs by editor Felice Belman and the paper's photo department. As the capital's newspaper, the ''Monitor'' is known for its coverage of state government and politics, including the "Capital Beat" column. ==History== The ''Monitor'' has been published continuously since 1864, under a variety of names and owners. In the late 19th century it was owned by a publishing company called the Republican Press Association which also published a paper named the ''Independent Statesman''.〔 〕 Its masthead calls it the ''Concord Monitor and New Hampshire Patriot'', although the ''Monitor'' name is the only one in widespread use. James M. Langley, who had acquired both publications in the 1920s, was responsible for the merger. William Dwight, publisher of the ''Holyoke Transcript-Telegram'' in Massachusetts, bought the ''Monitor'' from Langley in 1961, becoming its publisher. When he retired in 1975, his son-in-law George W. Wilson took over both the ''Monitor'' and Newspapers of New England Inc., the holding company of Dwight's newspapers in Concord, Holyoke and Greenfield, Massachusetts.〔"William Dwight, 92, Holyoke Publisher". Obituary. ''Union-News'', Springfield, Mass., June 5, 1996.〕 The ''Monitor'' has been flagship of this chain — now encompassing four dailies and three weeklies in New Hampshire and Massachusetts — since 1993, when the ''Transcript-Telegram'' folded. Its 2004 circulation was 22,000 daily, 23,000 Sundays. More recent figures put the daily circulation around 20,000.〔 In 2005, George W. Wilson retired as president of Newspapers of New England. Tom Brown became president of NNE, and Geordie Wilson, George W. Wilson's son, became publisher of the ''Monitor''.〔http://www.allbusiness.com/services/business-services-miscellaneous-business/4679383-1.html〕 Brown retired in 2009 and was replaced by Aaron Julien, George W. Wilson's son-in-law.〔" 'Monitor' group president retires," Concord Monitor, January 8, 2009. http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/monitor-group-president-retires〕 John Winn Miller, former publisher of ''The Olympian'' of Olympia, Wash., was named the ''Monitors publisher in 2010.〔" 'Monitor' gets new publisher," Concord Monitor, August 24, 2010. http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/monitor-gets-new-publisher〕 In early 2013, Mark Travis, who had spent more than two decades at the paper as a reporter and editor, succeeded Miller as publisher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mark Travis, former Monitor reporter and editor, to take on publisher role in January )〕 In June of 2013, Travis also became editor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A (partial) retirement and a restructuring at the top )〕 Travis left his dual roles at the paper in February 2014, with David Sangiorgio stepping in as acting publisher.〔http://www.concordmonitor.com/community/town-by-town/concord/10816698-95/monitor-publisher-mark-travis-leaving-for-internet-startup〕 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「Concord Monitor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
