David Bentley is a Canadian businessman from Halifax, Nova Scotia who has been involved in print media since the 1970s. Born in England, Bentley emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1966. ==''The Daily News''== Bentley and his wife Diana, along with Patrick and Joyce Simms, founded The Great Eastern News Company Ltd. in 1974 and started publishing a weekly broadsheet named ''The Bedford-Sackville News'', which focused on the suburban communities of Bedford and Lower Sackville within the Halifax-Dartmouth metropolitan area. The Great Eastern News Company Ltd. was initially published out of Bentley's home but a press was acquired in 1978 and the company moved into a new building. A year later the format changed to a tabloid and began publishing six days a week as ''The Bedford-Sackville Daily News''. The paper gained a reputation for printing stories not covered by its competition, ''The Chronicle Herald'', some of which were considered sensational. In 1981, Bentley's company moved to downtown Halifax from its suburban base and redubbed its tabloid as ''The Daily News'', while gaining a reputation for hard-hitting stories and expanded sports coverage. In 1985 the Newfoundland Capital Corporation gained a controlling interest in the paper and purchased Bentley's remaining share in 1987. 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「David Bentley (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
