''The Philadelphia Independent'' was a bi-monthly newspaper that served the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area from January 2002 to March 2005. According to Mattathias Schwartz, former Editor and Publisher, the newspaper had a printed circulation of 10,000, 1,200 of which were sent to subscribers. In "A Note to the Reader" in issue one, the Editors expressed a cynical yet hopeful view of urban culture in Philadelphia that would set the tone for the paper's 21 issue run: "For now, let us say that we are dissatisfied with modern life. We sense the germs of discovery, enlightenment and revolution lying dormant within us, the same germs that inferred the secret of the lightning bolt and cast off the yoke of empire. We want to create a frame where things are better, be that a chair, a photograph, a canvas, a song, or a newspaper."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A Note To The Reader )〕 The paper had multiple mottos: "A General Interest Miscellaneous Newspaper" and "the Periodic Journal of Urban Particulars" were printed above the masthead. "Nostre manes sunt infantes," "It's all here & It's all true," "Too big to read on the subway," and "Beholden to No One" were printed beside the masthead. ==Style and design== ''The Independent'' was set apart from other Philadelphia newspapers not only by its writing but by its layout and design. At 22 inches by 17 inches, ''The Independent'' was very large, even by broadsheet standards. In a compact, antiquated style, the front page would often have between 10-20 articles, far above the average. Each section of the newspaper had illustrated page headers, with titles such as "Industry News," "Metronaut" and "The Bureau of Puzzles & Games" created by cartoonist Jacob Weinstein, who also created the layout for issues six through 21. The work of various cartoonists and illustrators were featured throughout the paper including Gary Panter, Ben Katchor. 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 Philadelphia Independent (2002–05)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
