The ''New York World-Telegram'', later known as the ''New York World-Telegram and Sun'', was a New York City newspaper from 1867 to 1966. ==History== Founded by James Gordon Bennett as ''The Evening Telegram'' in 1867, the newspaper began as the evening edition of ''The New York Herald'', which itself published its first issue in 1835. Following Bennett’s death, newspaper and magazine owner Frank A. Munsey purchased ''The Telegram'' in June 1920. Munsey’s associate Thomas W. Dewart, the late publisher and president of the ''New York Sun'', owned the paper for two years after Munsey died in 1925 before selling it to Scripps for an undisclosed sum in 1927. At the time of the sale, the paper was known as ''The New York Telegram'', and it had a circulation of 200,000.〔(February 12, 1927).(The Telegram Sold to Scripps-Howard ), ''The New York Times''〕 The newspaper became the ''World-Telegram'' in 1931, following the sale of the ''New York World'' by the heirs of Joseph Pulitzer to Scripps Howard.〔(February 12, 1927).(The Telegram Sold to Scripps-Howard ), ''The New York Times''〕 More than 2,000 employees of the morning, evening and Sunday editions of the ''World'' lost their jobs in the merger, although some star writers, like Heywood Broun and Westbrook Pegler, were kept on the new paper. The ''World-Telegram'' enjoyed a reputation as a liberal paper for some years after the merger, based on memories of the Pulitzer-owned ''World''. However, under Scripps Howard the paper moved steadily to the right, eventually becoming a conservative bastion. In 1950, the paper became the ''New York World-Telegram and Sun'' after Dewart and his family sold Scripps the remnants of another afternoon paper, the ''New York Sun''.〔(January 4, 1950).

Liebling once described the "and Sun" portion of the combined publication's nameplate as resembling the tail feathers of a canary on the chin of a cat.) Early in 1966, a proposal to create New York's first joint operating agreement led to the merger of the ''World-Telegram and Sun'' with Hearst's ''Journal American''. The intention was to produce a joint afternoon edition, with a separate morning paper to be produced by the ''Herald Tribune''. The last edition of the ''World-Telegram and Sun'' was published on April 23, 1966.〔(April 24, 1966).

The ''World-Journal-Tribune'' lasted only until May 5, 1967. Its closure left New York City with three daily newspapers: ''The New York Times'', the ''New York Post'' and the ''New York Daily News''. 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「New York World-Telegram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
