The ''Las Vegas Review-Journal'' is a major daily newspaper published in Las Vegas, Nevada since 1909. It is the largest circulating daily newspaper in Nevada, and one of two daily newspapers in the Las Vegas area (The Greenspun Corporation-owned ''Las Vegas Sun'' is distributed with it). The paper usually takes what is perceived to be a libertarian editorial stance. On November 12, 2010, the paper announced that its longtime publisher, Sherman Frederick, would be replaced by Bob Brown and that editor Thomas Mitchell would become a senior opinion writer. The ''Review-Journal'' has a joint operating agreement with the ''Las Vegas Sun'', which runs through 2040. In 2005, the ''Sun'' ceased afternoon publication and began distribution as a section of the ''Review-Journal''. On March 18, 2015, the sale of the newspaper's parent company, Stephens Media LLC, to New Media Investment Group was completed. ==History== The ''Clark County Review'' was first printed in 1909 and became the ''Las Vegas Review'' in 1926 When Frank Garside who owned several other Nevada papers, brought in Al Cahlan. In March 1929, the ''Clark County Journal'' began publication, and in July of that year, the ''Review'' bought the ''Journal'' and began co-publication as the ''Las Vegas Evening Review-Journal''. In the early 1940s, Cahlan & Garside, owners of the ''RJ'' bought the ''Las Vegas Age'', from Charles P. "Pop" Squires, which began publication in 1905 and was the oldest surviving paper in Las Vegas. The word "evening" was dropped from the name in 1949 when Garside left the company and Cahlan struck an agreement with Donald W. Reynolds and his Donrey Media Group. The paper signed on Las Vegas' third television station, KLRJ-TV, in 1955, later changing the calls to KORK-TV. The station was sold in 1979, changing its call letters again first to KVBC, and then, in 2010, to the current KSNV-DT. In December 1960, Reynolds exercised a buyout option with Cahlan, and bought the paper. The ''RJ'' published a morning and evening edition from that point until the late 1980s, when the ''Las Vegas Sun'' began afternoon publication. Reynolds died in 1993, and longtime friend Jack Stephens bought his company, renamed it Stephens Media and moved the company's headquarters to Las Vegas. The ''Review-Journal'' entered into its first Joint Operating Agreement, or JOA, with the ''Sun'' in 1990, which was amended in 2005.〔(Reviewjournal.com )〕 In early 2015, the Stephens Media newspapers were sold to New Media Investment Group.〔 The newspaper has won the "General Excellence" award from the Nevada Press Association several times and has also won the "Freedom of the Press" award for its First Amendment battles from the statewide organization. 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「Las Vegas Review-Journal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
