''The Herald-Press'' is the only daily newspaper published in Huntington County, Indiana. The newspaper was founded in 1848 as the ''Indiana Herald''. In 1887 it was renamed to ''Huntington Herald'', and in 1930 it merged with ''Huntington Press'' and became the Herald-Press. In the early 1960s, the paper was purchased by James C. Quayle, whose wife Corrine was the daughter of newspaper magnate Eugene C. Pulliam. Pulliam had previously worked for Pulliam's Central Newspapers, Inc., which was the prior owner. In 1988, when George H. W. Bush announced his preference for Dan Quayle, Jim & Corrine's son, as candidate for Vice President of the United States, the celebration was at the Huntington, Indiana courthouse, less than a hundred feet from Dan & Marilyn Quayle's apartment above the Herald-Press office. Jim Quayle was a member of the John Birch Society and continued to follow the Central Newspapers, Inc., policy of publishing a highly-politicized newspaper.〔(" Story on Quayle Is Local News for His Family's Papers, and They Cover It" New York Times, published 28 August, 1988, retrieved 21 October, 2008 )〕 That doesn't mean they buried stories unfavorable to Dan Quayle. When news stories circulated that Dan Quayle had used family influence to get into the National Guard, Frank Caperton showed the story to Pulliam before publishing it. ''All he said was, 'Seems pretty straightforward to me,' '' Caperton related. James Quayle died July 7, 2000, and in May 2007, Corrine Quayle sold the paper to Paxton Media Group.〔(SNA - Huntington (IN) Herald-Press Sold to Paxton Media Group )〕 == 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「Huntington Herald-Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
