The ''Nanaimo Daily News'' is a Canadian daily newspaper published weekdays in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The paper is owned by Black Press, which also publishes the ''Alberni Valley Times'' and several weekly newspapers on the island. ==History== The ''Daily News'' was part the Southam chain, which itself was part of Hollinger Inc. in the late 1990s; this chain was, at the time, the dominant newspaper publisher in British Columbia, and also included the ''Alberni Valley Times'', ''Times Colonist'' and several weeklies. Along with the rest of Southam, ownership of the Vancouver Island newspapers passed to Canwest in 2000, then Postmedia Network in 2010. Postmedia sold its Vancouver Island properties and Lower Mainland weeklies to Glacier Media in 2011 for $86.5 million. In 2015, Glacier Media sold all its island papers except for the ''Times Colonist'' to Black Press. The newspaper is proud of its stubborn insistence on referring to the citizenry of Nanaimo as "Nanaimoites" instead of "Nanaimoans." Local literary lore posits that the early editors of the newspapers presumed that "Nanaimoans" was too difficult for a predominantly blue-collar readership to pronounce.〔Book Night, The Wheatsheaf Inn, Cedar, BC, July 23, 2012〕 Despite being advised that the people of Chicago are known as Chicagoans, not Chicagoites, and that the people of Orlando are known as Orlandoans, not Orlandoites, and further that the people of Toledo are known as Toledoans, not Toledoites, the newspaper's editors remain unmoved. 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「Nanaimo Daily News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
