Municipalities in the Post's circulation area include Bridgeport, Ansonia, Derby, Easton, Fairfield, Milford, Monroe, Orange, Oxford, Redding, Seymour, Shelton, Stratford, Trumbull, Weston, and Westport. The newspaper is owned and operated by the Hearst Corporation, a multinational corporate media conglomerate with $4 billion in revenues. The ''Connecticut Post'' also gained revenue by offering classified advertising for job hunters with very minimal regulation and other separate listings for products and services. == The Post == The paper has a weekday circulation of 53,866, a Saturday circulation of 41,768, and a Sunday circulation of 80,840, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, behind the ''Hartford Courant'' (264,539) and the ''New Haven Register'' (89,022). The paper competes directly with the ''Register'' in Stratford, Milford, and portions of the Lower Naugatuck Valley. The publisher is Robert Laska. The most recent editor, James H. Smith, departed abruptly on June 26, 2008. No reason was given to staff, but Smith later attributed his departure to "mutual agreement."〔(Editor Leaves Connecticut Post, Newsday.com. Retrieved June 27, 2008 )〕 Smith had attempted to take the newspaper in a different direction, stressing slice-of-life style features and enterprise and investigative work while downplaying court/police coverage. In recent years he has avoided layoffs despite economic pressures, opting instead to offer buyouts and drastically cut the freelance budget. The ''Posts coverage area presents problems as Bridgeport, Connecticut's largest city, is a poor and mostly minority area, while the surrounding eastern Fairfield County and western New Haven County area is affluent and mostly white. Consequently, while the Post does provide solid coverage of Bridgeport, most of the paper is composed of local stories regarding the surrounding towns. 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「Connecticut Post」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
