''The Pittsburg'' () ''Times'' was a morning daily newspaper published in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1880 to 1906. It was an ancestor of the present-day ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette''. ==History== The ''Times'' began publication on 2 February 1880, with ''Pittsburgh Leader'' veteran Robert P. Nevin as founder, proprietor and editor. It was issued every morning except Sunday and was Republican in politics. In 1884, Nevin sold out to a company headed by local political boss Christopher Magee.〔 The new publishers attracted subscribers by cutting the price of an issue from two cents to a penny,〔 and by the end of the decade, reported a daily circulation exceeding that of the city's other morning papers. Having outgrown a series of modest quarters, the ''Times'' moved in 1892 to its new eight-story Times Building, designed by Frederick J. Osterling in Richardsonian Romanesque style. The structure still stands in downtown Pittsburgh's Fourth Avenue Historic District. ''The Pittsburg Daily News'' was launched in 1896 as the sister newspaper and evening counterpart of the morning ''Times''. Half a decade later it was bought and absorbed by the city's leading evening paper, ''The Pittsburg Press''. In 1906, five years after Magee's death, George T. Oliver bought the ''Times'' and merged it with the morning paper he already owned, ''The Pittsburgh Gazette'', to form ''The Gazette Times''. The merged publications were compatible in their Republican political character, conservative style, and restraint from sensationalism. Prior to consolidation, both papers had a similar daily circulation of about 70,000. 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 Pittsburg Times」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
