An afternoon paper, it was begun by John Benson, Joseph Reece, and Harper J. Elam. Both Benson and Elam eventually sold their interest in the paper to Reece who operated it as sole owner for 14 years until his death in 1915. For four years thereafter it was owned by Al Fairbrother and George Crater until it was bought by Julian Price in 1919. The ''Daily News'' was a morning paper founded in 1909, an outgrowth of the recently defunct ''Daily Industrial News''. The ''Daily News'' and the associated company, the Greensboro News Company, grew quickly, acquiring the other morning paper, the ''Greensboro Telegram'' in 1911 and in 1930 acquired the ''Daily Record''. The Greensboro News Company and its two papers were run by Edwin Bedford Jeffress who owned half interest in the company after 1914. He remained President until 1961, when his son, Charles, took over the reins of the company. In 1965 the Company was purchased by Norfolk-Portsmouth Newspapers, based in Norfolk, Virginia. Jeffress remained publisher but the presidency was given to Frank Batten of Norfolk. Two years later Norfolk-Portsmouth Newspapers became Landmark Communications. In the early 1980s, the ''Greensboro Daily News'' and the ''Greensboro Record'' (formerly ''Daily Record'') began gradually consolidating their operations beginning with the Sunday edition in 1980 followed by Saturday in 1983. By March 1984, both papers were combined to the ''News & Record'',〔(Civil Rights Greensboro: Greensboro Record ), University of North Carolina-Greensboro〕 a single paper with two editions, morning and afternoon. The afternoon edition was eliminated two years later. Berkshire Hathaway's BH Media Group bought the ''News & Record'' from Landmark in 2013. 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「News & Record」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
