The ''Empire News'' was a Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom. The newspaper was founded in 1884 in Manchester as ''The Umpire''. A penny newspaper, it was the first successful provincial Sunday newspaper in England. Owned by H. S. Jennings, the ''Umpire'' was subtitled "A Sporting, Athletic, Theatrical and General Newspaper", and focused on sports and theatre news.〔Andrew Davies and Steven Fielding, ''Workers' Worlds'', p.160〕 In 1894, it absorbed the former daily newspaper, the ''Manchester Examiner and Times''.〔Joanne Shattock, ''The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature'', p.2908〕 In 1917, Edward Hulton bought the paper and renamed it the ''Empire'', and shortly after, as the ''Empire News''.〔〔"(Gone and (largely) forgotten )", ''British Journalism Review'', Vol. 17, No. 2, 2006, pp.50–52〕 Along with Hulton's other papers, the ''News'' was acquired by Lord Beaverbrook and then sold to Lord Rothermere, becoming part of Allied Northern Newspapers and later Kemsley Newspapers.〔 The paper was renamed the ''Sunday Empire News'' in 1944, but in 1950 became the ''Empire News and the Umpire'' and in 1953 was back to being the ''Empire News''.〔 In 1955, the ''Sunday Chronicle'' was merged with the ''Empire News'',〔 and the paper's title became the ''Empire News and the Sunday Chronicle''.〔 Roy Thomson bought the paper in 1959, but he merged it into the ''News of the World'' in 1960.〔〔 ==Editors== :1948: Terence Horsley :1949: G.
