The ''Daily Star'' is a popular daily tabloid newspaper published from Monday to Saturday in the United Kingdom since 2 November 1978. On 15 September 2002 a sister Sunday edition, the ''Daily Star Sunday'', was launched with a separate staff. On 31 October 2009 the paper published its 10,000th issue. The paper was launched from Manchester and initially circulated only in the North and Midlands. It was conceived by the then-owners of Express Newspapers, Trafalgar House, to take on the strength of the ''Daily Mirror'' and ''The Sun'' in the north. It was also intended to utilise the under-capacity of the Great Ancoats Street presses in Manchester as the ''Daily Express'' was losing circulation. The ''Daily Star'' sold out its first night print of 1,400,000. Its cover price has decreased over the years in order to compete with its rival ''The Sun''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Red-top papers prepare for marketing war )〕 The ''Daily Star'' is published by Express Newspapers, which also publishes the ''Daily Express'' and ''Sunday Express''. The group is now owned by Richard Desmond's Northern and Shell company. The paper predominantly focuses on stories largely revolving around celebrities, sport, and news and gossip about popular television programmes, such as soap operas and reality TV shows. Its editor is Dawn Neesom. She was promoted to the post in December 2003 after the previous editor, Peter Hill, moved to become editor of the ''Daily Express''. Previously she had been an executive on the paper in charge of the features department. ==Regular features== The newspaper features a photograph of a topless model on weekdays (in a similar vein to ''The Suns Page 3 feature) and has discovered some well known models, most notably Rachel Ter Horst in 1993, and Lucy Pinder on a Bournemouth beach in summer 2003. Such models as Cherry Dee and Michelle Marsh have also appeared on their page 3. These women are known in the paper as "Star Babes". The paper's glamour photographer is Jeany Savage. Other regular features in the ''Daily Star'' include Wired, a daily gossip column edited by James Cabooter, "Hot TV", a television news column edited by Ed Gleave and Peter Dyke, Mike Ward's weekly TV review page and "Forum", a daily page devoted to readers' text messages, which are apparently printed verbatim. Opinion columns by Dominik Diamond and Vanessa Feltz were discontinued in 2008. Until his death in 2012, the chief football writer was Brian Woolnough, lured from ''The Sun'' in 2001 for a £200,000 pay packet. The paper's leader column, entitled "The Daily Star Says", appears most days on Page 6. ''Beau Peep'' is the daily strip cartoon. 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「Daily Star (British newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
