right The Canadian Press (often abbreviated as CP), known in French as ''La Presse Canadienne'' (''PC''), is a national news agency headquartered in Toronto. It was established in 1917〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thecanadianpress.com/about_cp.aspx?id=77 )〕 as a vehicle to permit Canadian newspapers of the day to exchange their news and information. For most of its history, The Canadian Press has been a private, not-for-profit cooperative, owned and operated by its member newspapers. In mid-2010, however, it announced plans to become a for-profit business owned by three media companies once certain conditions are met. On November 26, 2010, Torstar Corporation, The Globe and Mail and Square Victoria Communications Group announced they have invested in a new for-profit entity, Canadian Press Enterprises Inc., to take over the operations of the Canadian Press.〔 Over the years, The Canadian Press and its affiliates have adapted to reflect changes in the media industry, technological change and the growing appetite for rapid news updates. It currently offers a wide variety of text, audio, photographic, video〔http://www.thecanadianpress.com/news_and_information.aspx?id=129〕 and graphic content to websites, radio, television, and commercial clients in addition to newspapers and its long-standing ally, The Associated Press (AP), a global news service based in the United States. ==History== Created by an act of Parliament and by means of an annual financial grant from the government from 1917 to 1924,〔 the news co-operative was formed to help newspapers cover and distribute news across the vast country. Previously, Canada had regional news associations but no national wire service. Initially operating as a distribution network, its first editorial staff came on board during World War I to report on the efforts of Canadian soldiers overseas. With the arrival of television and radio, The Canadian Press created a subsidiary, Broadcast News, to deliver text specifically written for broadcasters, as well as the production of newscasts and audio clips. The Canadian Press operates in both English and French, Canada's official languages; the French Service was established in 1951 and is named ''La Presse Canadienne'' (abbreviated as PC). The Canadian Press has a staff of more than 250 journalists in its bureaus across Canada, as well as a correspondent in Washington, D.C. The news agency operated a bureau in London, England, until 2004, and has had reporters covering the Canadian mission in Afghanistan since 2002.〔 Canadian Press Enterprises Inc. is the entity which "will take over the operations of the ''Canadian Press''" according to a November 26, 2010 article in the ''Toronto Star''.〔 The new board met for the first time on Monday, November 29, 2010 to review the operations of the Canadian Press.〔 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 Canadian Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
