''This article is about the weekly paper for the Maidstone region. For the Kent Messenger Group, see KM Group.'' The ''Kent Messenger'' is a weekly newspaper serving the mid-Kent area. It is published in three editions - Maidstone, Malling, and the Weald. It is owned by the KM Group and is published on Thursdays. ==History== The ''Kent Messenger'' grew from the ''Maidstone Telegraph'' founded in the county town of Kent in 1859.〔(Over 150 years of history )〕 It changed to its current name two years later.〔(KM Timeline )〕 It was sold to the Boorman family in 1890 after its then owners, the Masters brothers, were jailed. In 1942 the Kent Messenger offices were used by the Canterbury newspaper the ''Kentish Gazette'' (then not owned by the Kent Messenger Group) after the Gazette's offices were destroyed by a Luftwaffe raid on Canterbury, in order to produce that week's copy of the Gazette.〔(About the team - Kentish Gazette )〕 The ''Kent Messenger'' remains the flagship newspaper for the KM Group. Besides the main edition for Maidstone, editions are also published for Malling and the Weald. Along with the rest of the KM-owned papers, the ''Kent Messenger'' was given a design overhaul in May 2005.〔(New KM is aimed at busy readers )〕 The current editor is Denise Eaton. 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「Kent Messenger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
