The ''Hannibal Courier-Post'' is a daily newspaper published in Hannibal, Missouri, United States. It is owned by GateHouse Media. In addition to Hannibal, the ''Courier-Post'' covers several other communities in Marion, Pike and Ralls counties, including Bowling Green, Center, Louisiana, Monroe City, New London, Palmyra, Perry, Saverton and Vandalia. == History == The newspaper claims to be the oldest daily newspaper in Missouri, having printed daily since 1853 and tracing its lineage back to several weekly newspapers in and around Hannibal: the ''Commercial Advertiser'' (1837), later called the ''Pacific Monitor'' (1840), ''Hannibal Journal'' (1841) and ''Hannibal Journal and Western Union'' (1850); the ''Hannibal Gazette'' (1846); the ''Hannibal Messenger'' (1851); and a Palmyra weekly, the ''Missouri Courier'', founded in 1832 and consolidated with the ''Gazette'' in 1848.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hannibal.net/contact )〕 The ''Journal'' converted to a daily March 16, 1853, the ''Messenger'' in 1858. The ''Messenger'' combined with the ''Courier'' in 1863, adopting the name ''North Missouri Courier''. The daily ''Courier'' in 1891 merged with the ''Daily Post'', marking the debut of the name ''Hannibal Courier-Post''. The ''Morning Journal'' was acquired in 1918.〔 Individual owners had published the ''Courier-Post'' and its predecessors since the 1850s, including Thomas B. Morse, who had founded the ''Daily Post'' in 1886 and remained publisher of the merged newspaper until 1907. Morse sold the paper that year to Lee Enterprises, which invested heavily in its new acquisition, with a new printing press, Associated Press wire, and a new building.〔 Lee sold the paper to Stauffer Communications in 1969. Morris Communications acquired Stauffer in 1995.〔(Morris Communications buys Stauffer Communications )〕 The current owners, GateHouse Media, purchased the ''Hannibal Courier-Post'' in 2007.〔〔(Morris Publishing Completes Sale of Publications to GateHouse Media )〕 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「Hannibal Courier-Post」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
