The ''North Adams Transcript'', prior to being merged into the Berkshire Eagle in 2014, was an American daily newspaper published Mondays through Saturdays in North Adams, Massachusetts. It was one of four Massachusetts newspapers owned by MediaNews Group of Colorado. Branded as "The Voice of the Northern Berkshires Since 1843," the ''Transcript'' covered North Adams and Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, Hancock, Lanesborough, New Ashford, and Williamstown, Massachusetts; and Pownal and Stamford, Vermont.〔(North Adams Transcript advertising rate card ), accessed December 9, 2006.〕 == History == In 1896, the ''Transcript'' was bought by the Hardman family; 80 years later, co-publishers (and brothers) James Jr. and Robert Hardman sold it to ''The Boston Globe'', which turned it over to Ingersoll Publications Inc. in 1979. Then, in 1989, Ingersoll sold the paper to the American Publishing Company (later Hollinger International).〔"James Hardman Jr., Ex-Publisher, at 80." ''The Union-News'' (Springfield, Mass.), May 15, 1990.〕 The ''Transcript'' in 1975 was named the best small daily newspaper in New England.〔"James A. Hardman Jr.; Was Editor of North Adams Daily for 33 Years." ''The Boston Globe'', May 15, 1990.〕 MediaNews Group, through its subsidiary Garden State Newspapers, acquired the paper from Hollinger in 1996 as part of a 10-newspaper trade involving properties from four other states. The purchase allowed MediaNews to deepen its ties to Western Massachusetts, where it had already bought ''The Berkshire Eagle'' the year before.〔"N. Adams Transcript in Newspaper Swap." ''The Union-News'' (Springfield, Mass.), April 5, 1996.〕 Journalist Daniel Pearl got his start at the ''Transcript'' in the late 1980s before going to ''The Wall Street Journal'' in 1990. The Transcript was absorbed into the Berkshire Eagle in January 2014. 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「North Adams Transcript」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
