''The Times-Picayune'' is an American newspaper published in New Orleans, Louisiana, since January 25, 1837. The current publication is the result of the 1914 merger of ''The Picayune'' with the ''Times-Democrat''; and was printed on a daily basis until October 2012, when it went to a Wednesday/Friday/Sunday schedule. The paper, together with the NOLA.com website, comprise the NOLA Media Group division of Advance Publications. The paper was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2006 for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Four of ''The Times-Picayune''’s staff reporters also received Pulitzers for breaking-news reporting for their coverage of the storm. The paper funds the Poe Award for journalistic excellence, which is presented annually by the White House Correspondents' Association. ==History== Established as ''The Picayune'' in 1837 by Francis Lumsden and George Wilkins Kendall, the paper's initial price was one picayune, a Spanish coin equivalent to 6¼¢ (or precisely one-sixteenth of a dollar). Under Eliza Jane Nicholson, who inherited the struggling paper when her husband died in 1876, the ''Picayune'' introduced innovations such as society reporting (known as the "Society Bee" columns), children's pages, and the first women's advice column, which was written by Dorothy Dix. Between 1880 and 1890, the paper more than tripled its circulation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louisiana Leaders: Notable Women in History: Eliza Nicholson (Pearl Rivers) )〕 The paper became ''The Times-Picayune'' after merging in 1914 with its rival, the New Orleans ''Times-Democrat''.〔("Old Newspapers to Merge," ) NY Times, April 3, 1914.〕 In 1962, Samuel Irving Newhouse, Sr., bought the morning daily ''The Times-Picayune'' and the other remaining New Orleans daily, the afternoon ''States-Item''. The papers were later merged on June 2, 1980〔(1980:New Orleans' two major newspapers merge )〕 and were known as ''The Times-Picayune/States-Item'' (except on Sundays) until September 30, 1986. In addition to the flagship paper, specific community editions of the newspaper are also circulated and retain the ''Picayune'' name, including the ''Gretna Picayune'' for nearby Gretna. The paper is a part of Advance Publications, which is owned by the Newhouse family, and is operated through Advance's NOLA Media Group unit along with its sister website, NOLA.com. In the vernacular of its circulation area, the newspaper is often called the ''T-P''. 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「The Times-Picayune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
