The ''St. Joseph News-Press'' is a daily morning newspaper based in St. Joseph, Missouri. It is the flagship publication of the News-Press & Gazette Company, which owns newspapers across northwestern Missouri and northeastern Kansas, and television and radio stations throughout the western United States. ==History== It traces its earliest roots to the ''St. Joseph Gazette'', which was founded in 1845 shortly after St. Joseph was founded. The ''Gazette'' was the only newspaper to be sent west on the first ride of the Pony Express. The ''Evening News'' began publication on May 3, 1879 by J.W. and G.J. Spencer with a note that it would be "devoted to gab, gossip and paid locals." It claimed no political stance (in contrast to the ''Democratic Gazette''). By 1883, it claimed "a larger circulations than the Daily and Weekly papers in St. Joseph combined."〔St. Joseph News-Press: 150 years of St. Joseph News by Preston Filbert - News-Press & Gazette Co (1995)〕 In 1889, it was acquired by Charles M. Palmer, a cohort of William Randolph Hearst. Palmer was a broker for Hearst for many newspapers but would keep the ''Press''.〔 One of its most colorful editors was Christian Rutt. Rutt was said to have originated the concept of Aunt Jemima pancake mix. Rutt sold the idea to the Davis Milling Company in St. Joseph which marketed it at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893.〔(Uncloudy Days: The Gospel Music Encyclopedia Backbeat Books (August 23, 2005) ) ISBN 0-87930-841-9〕 In 1903, ''The St. Joseph Post'' started publication and was quickly purchased by Palmer and was initially called the ''St. Joseph News and Press''. In 1913, it moved into its headquarters at Edmond and Seventh Streets, where it remains today. 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「St. Joseph News-Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
