Later owned by the Edmunds family, the ''DT'' bought the ''Derbyshire Courier'' in 1922 and amalgamated two old rivals to become one paper. In 1978 the paper's publisher Wilfred Edmunds Ltd became the first English acquisition of Falkirk-based publishers F. Johnston & Co, which later became Johnston Press. The paper switched from a broadsheet format to tabloid in March 1986 and entered the world of multimedia publishing in 1999 with the launch of its website. The paper has a staff of 4 reporters and 4 photographers, which is supported by a team of voluntary correspondents. The newspaper contains several supplements focusing on property, motoring, business and entertainment in the area. Once possessing their own printing facility at their Chesterfield premises, the ''Derbyshire Times'' has been printed at Johnston Press's Sheffield Web facility in Dinnington since 2007.〔("Johnston Press" notice ), UK Business Park website, 18 April 2007〕 ==See also== * List of newspapers in the United Kingdom 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「Derbyshire Times」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
