The ''Shropshire Star'' is the fifth biggest-selling regional evening newspaper in Britain. It is based in Ketley, Telford, and covers the whole of Shropshire plus parts of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Mid Wales. Currently edited by Martin Wright, the ''Shropshire Star'' publishes three editions a day Monday to Friday and one edition on a Saturday. In the first half of 2012, the newspaper had a daily circulation of 49,751, but this fell to 46,498 in the second half of 2012 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regional ABCs: Paid-for local press circulation drops by 6.4 per cent )〕 and to below 39,000 by the end of 2013.〔http://www.abc.org.uk/Certificates/18934454.pdf〕 It is printed at its editorial headquarters in Ketley. The ''Shropshire Star'' is one of the few independent daily newspapers still operating in the UK, having been under the continuous ownership of the Graham family almost since its inception. It is owned by the Midland News Association (MNA), which also owns the ''Express & Star'' newspaper. ==History== The ''Shropshire Star'' has been in circulation since Monday 5 October 1964, inheriting a nightly circulation of around 19,000 from the old Shropshire edition of the ''Express & Star''. The Midland News Association board saw an opportunity with the growth of Dawley New Town - later renamed Telford - and produced a successful news and advertising product to serve a county which is a mixture of agriculture and industrial areas. The ''Shropshire Star'' later became the first evening newspaper in Europe to use web-fed offset printing, which refers to the use of rolls (or webs) of paper supplied to the printing press. 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「Shropshire Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
