''The Blackshear Times'' is an American weekly newspaper founded in 1889 and published in Blackshear, Georgia. ''The Times'' is a community newspaper, thus its coverage is primarily centered on the events in Pierce County, Georgia. The current owner and publisher of ''The Times'' is Robert Williams Jr. The Papers' motto, as printed in the top-center of the front page, is "Liked by Many, Cussed by Some, Read by Them All."〔http://www.theblacksheartimes.com/our_newspaper/about_us/〕 ==History== The name of weekly newspaper has been ''The Blackshear Times'' since October 10, 1889.〔History of Pierce County, Vol I & II〕 Exactly who came up with the name is not known, although E.Z. Byrd stated in an editorial on April 17, 1902, that "we presume it was Mr. B.D. Brantley, our present treasurer, who gave The Times its name." The paper was being published by The Times Publishing Company. It was owned by The A.P. Brantley Company. On March 2, 1911 E.Z. Byrd, who had been owner of, or with, the county newspaper for 23 years, announced that he was selling The Times to Col. C.A. Sydnor. The Times would have eight owners over the next 15 years. Owners following Sydnor included H. (Harry) Johnsen, partners W.L. Knight and R.D. Thomas, W. Boyce Bailey, parnets F.X. Ebner and G.M. Shepard, Jack Williams, W. Kirk Sutlive and Carl Broome. Carl Broome eventually sold the newspaper to sons Lee and Dean Broome. Dean became sole owner of ''The Times'' in 1958, after having managed and edited the paper for 12 years under his father and as co-owner and editor with his brother, Lee. Little change would occur in the operation after the takeover. On March 5, 1970, Dean Broome sold ''The Blackshear Times'' to Donald L. Ferrell. When Ferrell bought the newspaper, he was one of the triad known as the Pierce County Publishing Company. His partners were Roy Chalker Sr. and Wilkes Williams. Ferrell was president of the company. 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「The Blackshear Times」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
