''The Herald'' is a Scottish broadsheet newspaper founded in 1783. The Herald is the longest running national newspaper in the world〔 and is the eighth oldest daily paper in the world. ==History == The newspaper was founded by John Mennons in January 1783 as a weekly publication called the ''Glasgow Advertiser''. An early scoop for the paper was official news of the treaties of Versailles, which reached Mennons via the Lord Provost of Glasgow just as the first edition was being compiled. It was, however, only carried on the back page. In 1802, Mennons sold the newspaper to Benjamin Mathie and Dr James McNayr, former owner of the ''Glasgow Courier''. Mennons' son Thomas retained an interest in the company.〔 The new owners changed the name to ''The Herald and Advertiser and Commercial Chronicle'' in 1803. In 1805 the name changed this time to ''The Glasgow Herald'' when Thomas Mennons severed his ties to the paper. From 1836 to 1964 the publication was owned by George Outram & Co. becoming the first daily newspaper in Scotland in 1858.〔 It was bought by Sir Hugh Fraser who sold it ten years later to the Lonrho empire.〔 In 1895 publication moved to a building in Mitchell Street. In 1980 it moved to offices in Albion Street in Glasgow into the former Scottish Daily Express building. The newspaper changed its name to ''The Herald'' on 3 February 1992. That same year the title was bought by Caledonia Newspaper Publishing & Glasgow. In 1996 was purchased by Scottish Television (later called the Scottish Media Group).〔 As of 2013 the newspaper along with its related publications, the ''Evening Times'' and ''Sunday Herald'', were owned by the Newsquest media group.〔 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「The Herald (Glasgow)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
