The Greenock Telegraph is a local daily newspaper serving Inverclyde (the council area containing the towns of Gourock, Greenock and Port Glasgow), Scotland. Founded in 1857, it was the first halfpenny daily newspaper in Britain. It was for a time Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette, owing to the massive amount of maritime traffic moving in and out of Greenock's harbours. This information is still published, but only as a column entry. Originally based in Charles Street, Greenock, the printing works were bombed during the Greenock Blitz in May 1941. However the printers worked on to produce emergency editions, despite sustaining multiple cuts from the shattered glass lodged in the presses. It is known locally as The Tele (although this is pronounced ''Tilly''). Several features such as ''Viator'' (Latin for ''traveller'') have formed part of the ''Telegraph'' for decades. Although it concerns itself primarily with news from Inverclyde, West Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire it occasionally runs national stories on its front and inner pages. The paper has been printed at its current location in Crawfurd Street in Greenock since the 1960s. Long published by Orr, Pollock & Co., it was published by Clyde & Forth Press, who own a range of local titles in Central Scotland and a few titles in the south of England. The company went into receivership after the death of Deirdre Romanes and were acquired by management and Lloyds Bank under the name Romanes Media in 2012.〔( Management buyout saves Dunfermline Press group )〕 Newsquest acquired Romanes Media in 2015.〔( Newsquest acquires 29 more newspapers as it buys Greenock Telegraph publisher Romanes )〕〔( Cost-cutting Newsquest/Gannett goes on the acquisition trail )〕 The current Managing Editor is Tom McConigley.() ==References== 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「Greenock Telegraph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
