The ''Texarkana Gazette'' is a daily newspaper founded in 1875 and currently owned by WEHCO Media, Inc. It serves Texarkana and surrounding areas. It was acquired through the consolidation of several newspapers in 1933 through the efforts of the Iowa-born businessman Clyde E. Palmer. Palmer established a newspaper and radio station chain that reached into Hot Springs, Camden, Magnolia, and Stuttgart. In 1952, Palmer acquired the television station KCMC which became KTAL-TV in 1961. It serves both Texarkana and Shreveport. Through a reorganization in 1968, ''The Camden News'' in Camden, Arkansas, technically became the parent company for the Palmer newspapers, including the ''Texarkana Gazette''. Palmer's ''Texarkana Gazette'' still circulates in Bowie, Red River, Morris, Marion, Titus, and Cass counties in Texas and Miller, Little River, Hempstead, Nevada, Howard, Sevier, Pike and Columbia counties in Arkansas. Newspapers are also delivered into McCurtain County in the southeastern corner of Oklahoma and into northern Caddo Parish in Louisiana. The ''Texarkana Gazette'' has more than 130 employees and some 120 independent carriers that deliver newspapers in a 60-mile radius. The average circulation is about 25,000 daily. The previous afternoon daily, the ''Texarkana Daily News'', ceased publication in 1978. Rodger Dean Duncan, who later worked for two White House administrations and is now a prominent business consultant, was managing editor of the two Texarkana newspapers in the late 1960s. Palmer determined that the key to newspaper success was (1) the readers, (2) the advertisers, (3) the employees, (4) the creditors, and (5) the stockholders, in that order. The paper earned the coveted 2010 General Excellence award from the Arkansas Press Association competing against eight other large dailies including the ''Arkansas Democrat-Gazette'' which placed second.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arkansas Press Association's News Editorial 2010 Contest Winners )〕 ==Staff== 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「Texarkana Gazette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
