''The Journal'' is a daily newspaper based in Martinsburg, West Virginia and serving Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties in the state's Eastern Panhandle. It is owned by Ogden Newspapers. The Journal was established as ''The Evening Journal'' in 1907 by Harry F. Byrd, a future U.S. Senator and governor of Virginia. Byrd sold the paper in 1912 to associate Max von Schlegell, who sold it to H.C. Ogden in 1923.〔 The newspaper changed its name in 1913 to ''The Martinsburg West Va. Evening Journal''; in 1920, to ''The Martinsburg Journal''; back to ''The Evening Journal'' in 1978; to ''The Morning Journal'' in 1990; and to its current name in 1993.〔 H.C. Ogden's grandson, G. Ogden Nutting, began his newspaper career at ''The Martinsburg Journal'' as a reporter and news editor.〔 Nutting is the current publisher of Ogden Newspapers.〔 In March 2013, Senator Joe Manchin was criticized for agreeing to an interview with ''The Journal'' but demanding that he would not be asked any questions about gun control or the Second Amendment. ==References== 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 Journal (West Virginia newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
