Media in Seattle includes long-established newspapers, television and radio stations, and an evolving panoply of smaller, local art, culture, neighborhood and political publications, filmmaking and, most recently, Internet media. As of the fall of 2009, Seattle has the 20th〔List of newspapers in the United States by circulation〕 largest newspaper and the 13th largest radio〔(Market Ranks and Schedule (1-50) (2009) ). ''Arbitron.com''.〕 and television〔(Nielsen Media Research Local Universe Estimates ) ''The Nielson Company''〕 market in the United States. The Seattle media market also serves Puget Sound and Western Washington. Seattle has been at the forefront of new media developments since the 1999 protests of a meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle spurred the formation of the city's Independent Media Center, which covered and disseminated the breaking news online to a worldwide audience. The location of Microsoft just outside Seattle in nearby Redmond, and the growth of interactive media companies have made Seattle prominent in new digital media.〔Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, ("An Information Community Case Study: Seattle )," Washington, DC: New America Foundation, 2010, http://mediapolicy.newamerica.net/sites/newamerica.net/files/program_pages/attachments/Seattle%20Case%20Study_0.pdf, Accessed 9 Sept. 2010.〕 ==Newspapers== Seattle's major daily newspaper is ''The Seattle Times''. The local Blethen family owns 50.5% of the ''Times'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Overview of The Seattle Times )〕 the other 49.5% being owned by the McClatchy Company. The ''Times'' holds the largest Sunday circulation in the Pacific Northwest. The ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'' (now online only) is owned by the Hearst Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Joint Operation Agreement )〕 The ''Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce'' covers economic news, and ''The Daily of the University of Washington'', the University of Washington's school paper, is published five days per week during the school year. The Seattle newspaper landscape changed dramatically in 2009, when the ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'' ceased print publication. Previously, the ''Post-Intelligencer'' and ''The Seattle Times'' had shared a joint-operating agreement under which the ''Times'' handled business operations outside the newsroom for its competitor. When the ''Post-Intelligencer'' went online-only as SeattlePI.com, ''The Seattle Times'' felt the blow financially but continues to be a profit-earning publication and even increased its print circulation in 2009 by 30 percent. Nonetheless, the ''P-Is move to online-only resulted in 145 jobs lost at that publication, while ''The Seattle Times'' cut 150 editorial positions shortly before that, in December 2008. The ''Times'' reaches 7 out of 10 adults in King and Snohomish Counties. With fewer resources, the ''Times'' took steps to consolidate some of its news coverage: for example, folding the daily business section into the paper's A section. ''The Seattle Times'' has been recognized for its editorial excellence: The newspaper has been the recipient of nine Pulitzer Prizes. In recent years, the ''Times'' has begun to partner with other types of media outlets, including collaborations with several local bloggers that are funded by American university's J-Lab: the Institute for Interactive Journalism and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.〔 The most prominent weeklies are the ''Seattle Weekly'' and ''The Stranger''. Both consider themselves alternative papers. ''The Stranger'', founded in 1992, is locally owned and has a younger and hipper readership. ''The Seattle Weekly'', founded in 1976, has a longstanding reputation for in-depth coverage of the arts and local politics. It was purchased in 2000 by Village Voice Media, which in turn was acquired in 2005 by New Times Media. New Times Media has decreased the ''Weekly's'' emphasis on politics. Other weekly papers are the ''Seattle Gay News'' and ''Real Change,'' an activist paper sold by homeless and low-income people. The ''Puget Sound Business Journal'' covers the local economy. ''The Rocket'', a long-running weekly paper devoted to the music scene, stopped publishing in 2000. Seattle is also home to several ethnic newspapers. Among these are the African American papers ''The Facts'' and the ''Seattle Medium''; the Asian American papers the ''Northwest Asian Weekly'', ''Seattle Chinese Post'', and the ''International Examiner''; and the ''JTNews'' (formerly the ''Jewish Transcript''). There are also numerous neighborhood newspapers, such as the ''Seattle Sun and Star'', the ''West Seattle Herald'', the ''Ballard News-Tribune'', and the papers of the Pacific Publishing Company, which include the ''Queen Anne News, Magnolia News, North Seattle Herald-Outlook, Capitol Hill Times, Beacon Hill News & South District Journal,'' and the ''Madison Park Times.'' 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「Media in Seattle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
