The ''Sapulpa Daily Herald'', "Creek County's Only Daily Newspaper," is a five-day (Sunday and Tuesday through Friday) daily newspaper published in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, United States. It is owned by the Sumner family. They also own four other Oklahoma papers. Founded in September 1914 by John W. Young and O.S. Todd, the ''Sapulpa Daily Herald'' later merged with the older ''Sapulpa Evening Light'' -- the city's oldest newspaper, founded in 1896 as a weekly, and relaunched as a daily in 1908 -- when the ''Light''s publisher, Oren Miller Irelan, entered a partnership with Young. By the time the two sold the ''Herald'' to R.P. Matthews in 1944, it was one of only two newspapers in the city (there had, at one point, been six).〔(History of Sapulpa Newspapers ), accessed February 19, 2007.〕 The Matthews family sold to Ed Livermore in 1959; he bought out his only competitor, the weekly ''County Democrat News'', in 1965. Livermore, a Sapulpa resident after whom the University of Oklahoma journalism chair is named, was the last local owner. He sold the ''Herald'' to Roy H. Park in 1979; Park sold to Community Newspaper Holdings in 1997.〔 The ''Herald'' changed owners again in October 2007, when CNHI sold it and two other papers to the Sumner family. ==2008 presidential election== In 2008, the Sapulpa Daily Herald made no mention of President Obama's presidential victory. The newspaper claimed that it covered local news and not national news. The move prompted protests that the newspaper was practicing racism. 〔(CNN Story )〕 The newspaper's publisher explained "We run a newspaper, not a memory book service. We covered the local commissioner's race. We thought that was more important."〔(Protests outside newspaper that ignored Barack Obama's victory, ''The Telegraph'', 12 November 2008 )〕 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「Sapulpa Daily Herald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
