The ''Sunday Dispatch'' was a British newspaper, published between 27 September 1801 and 18 June 1961,〔(Concise History of the British Newspaper in the 19th Century: The British Library Newspaper Library )〕〔(Georgian Index - British Newspapers )〕 when it was merged with the ''Sunday Express''. Until 1928, it was called the ''Weekly Dispatch''. ==History== First published as the ''Weekly Dispatch'' in 1801, it was bought by Alfred Harmsworth and Lord Rothermere in 1903〔(Harold Harmsworth, Lord Rothermere )〕 from the Newnes family.〔http://www.dmgt.co.uk/aboutdmgt/dmgtbackground/anexcellence〕 The pair turned the newspaper around from bankruptcy, and made it the biggest selling Sunday newspaper, changing its name to the ''Sunday Dispatch'' in 1928. As editor Charles Eade had served as Press Liaison officer for Lord Mountbatten during World War II, distribution was up from 800,000 to over 2 million copies per edition in 1947.〔(Popular Newspapers During World War II, Parts 1 to 5, 1939-1945 )〕 In light of comment from Randolph Churchill that Esmond Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothermere was "pornographer royal" for his ownership of the ''Daily Sketch'' and ''Sunday Dispatch'', Rothermere fired both Eade and the editor of the ''Daily Sketch'' in 1959. Under its last editor Walter Hayes, it still had pre-printed posters with the headline "CHURCHILL IS DEAD," in preparation of the death of his father Winston Churchill〔(Peter Betts || Biography )〕 In an era when other papers such as the ''News Chronicle'', the ''Empire News'' and the ''Sunday Graphic'' were rapidly falling to the influence of television, the ''Sunday Dispatch'' ceased publication in 1961.〔(DMGT, Rothermere and Northcliffe: landmarks )〕 The possible late 1960s ''Dispatch'' was the fictional setting of Philip Norman's 1996 novel ''Everyone's Gone to the Moon'' about reporting on the British pop invasion of America in the 1960s. 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「Sunday Dispatch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
