Hearst Metrotone News airplane.jpg|Hearst Metrotone News airplane (from Lizotte Family photo album) ''Hearst Metrotone News'' (renamed ''News of the Day'' in 1936) was a newsreel series (1914–1967) produced by the Hearst Corporation, founded by William Randolph Hearst. ==History== Hearst produced silent newsreels under the titles of ''Hearst Newsreel'', ''International Newsreel'', and ''MGM News'' before settling on the generic title ''Hearst Metrotone News''. From January 1919 to July 1929, ''International Newsreel'' was produced by Hearst's International News Service and released by Universal Studios. Hearst began to release sound newsreels in September 1929 under an agreement with Fox Film Corporation using the Fox Movietone sound system. Hearst dissolved its agreement with Fox in October 1934, and released its newsreels through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from then until 1967. William Randolph Hearst was a controversial figure for several years. In November 1936, in reaction to protests and moviegoers' booing of the Hearst newsreel when it began showing causing theaters to edit out references to Hearst, the name of the newsreel was officially changed to "News of the Day" by Hearst. 〔http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,757000,00.html〕 The Hearst Metrotone News name continued to appear on the copyright notice at the end of the newsreel. Other U.S. newsreel series include ''The March of Time'' (1935-1951), ''Pathé News'' (1910-1956), ''Paramount News'' (1927-1957), ''Fox Movietone News'' (1928-1963), and ''Universal Newsreel'' (1929-1967). In 1981, the entire Hearst newsreel library was acquired by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.〔(Hearst Metrotone News info at UCLA Film and Television Archive website )〕 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「Hearst Metrotone News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
