The ''Sunday Chronicle'' was a newspaper in the United Kingdom. The newspaper was founded in Manchester by Edward Hulton in August 1885. He was known for his sporting coverage, already publishing the ''Sporting Chronicle'', the ''Daily Dispatch'' and the ''Athletic News''. The paper initially cost one penny and, despite its name, was published on both Saturdays and Sundays.〔Andrew Davies and Steven Fielding, ''Workers' Worlds: Cultures and Communities in Manchester and Salford, 1880–1939'', p. 160〕 The socialist Robert Blatchford worked for the paper in its early years and, owing to his influence, it supported the Manningham Mills strikers. However, Blatchford was sacked immediately after the strike and instead founded the ''Clarion'' with the paper's drama critic, Alexander M. Thompson.〔Ed. Brian Tyson, ''Bernard Shaw's Book Reviews'', pp. 212–213〕 Hulton's son, also Edward Hulton, took over the business on his father's death, but sold it to Allied Newspapers in 1923 for £6 million.〔Tony Mason, ''Association football and English society, 1863–1915'', p. 200〕 Publication was moved to London, and James Drawbell was appointed editor, positioning it as a middle market newspaper and increasing circulation.〔Bryan Common, ''Beverley Nichols: a life'', p. 162〕 In 1955, the ''Chronicle'' was merged into the ''Empire News''.〔"(Gone and (largely) forgotten )", ''British Journalism Review'', Vol. 17, No. 2, 2006, pp. 50–52〕 The ''Empire News'' itself disappeared in 1960 when it was merged with the ''News of the World''. ==Editors== :Thomas Harris :A.
