''The Chronicle Herald'' is a broadsheet published in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The largest newspaper company in Nova Scotia, ''The Chronicle Herald'' is also the highest circulation newspaper in the Atlantic provinces and is the largest independently owned newspaper company in Canada. The paper is owned by the Dennis family of Halifax. ==History== * Founded in 1874 as ''The Morning Herald'', it quickly became one of Halifax's main newspapers. The same company also owned the ''Evening Mail'', which was published in the afternoon. * The main competitors were the ''Chronicle'' in the morning, and the ''Star'' in the afternoon. * By 1949 the papers had merged to become ''The Chronicle-Herald'' and ''Mail-Star'' respectively. * In 1998 the company began producing a Sunday edition called ''The Sunday Herald'', which ran until April 20, 2013. In 2004 ''The Chronicle-Herald'' and ''Mail-Star'' were merged to form the single ''The Chronicle Herald''. * In January 2004, ''The Chronicle Herald'' became the first newspaper in Canada, and one of only several in the world, to operate a ''WIFAG'' offset press. This development led to an increased use of colour, and changes in font and styling. * In October 2008, ''The Chronicle Herald'' was named one of "Canada's Top 100 Employers" by Mediacorp Canada Inc., and was featured in ''Maclean's'' newsmagazine. * On February 3, 2009, the paper laid off 24 employees, representing approximately one quarter of its newsroom staff, but remains the largest newsroom east of Montreal. These cuts impacted the production department where nine employees were laid off. The company stated that these layoffs were the result of a decline in advertising due to the distress of the current economic situation. * Circulation has been in decline. In 2012 the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported circulation of 108,389 weekdays, 112,306 Saturdays and 97,190 Sundays〔Audit Bureau of Circulations (e-Circ data ) for the six months ending September 30, 2011. Retrieved February 16, 2012.〕 The Sunday paper was combined with the Saturday paper and renamed Weekend after these numbers were released. In September 2014, weekday circulation was estimated at 70,000, with the weekend edition selling 72,000. On-line subscriptions totaled 1,862.〔Reported in AllNovaScotia.com, May 1, 2015, citing an Audited Media report〕 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 Chronicle Herald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
