''The Post and Courier'' is the main daily newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina. It traces its ancestry to three newspapers, the ''Charleston Courier'', founded in 1803, the ''Charleston Daily News'', founded 1865, and ''The Evening Post'', founded 1894. Through the ''Courier'', it is the oldest daily newspaper in the South, and one of the oldest continuously operating newspapers in the United States. It is the flagship newspaper of the Evening Post Industries. It is the largest newspaper in the Palmetto State, followed by Columbia's ''The State'' and ''The Greenville News''.〔 == History == The ''Charleston Courier,'' founded in 1803, and ''Charleston Daily News,'' founded in 1865, merged to form the ''News and Courier'' in 1873. In 1926, ''The News and Courier'' was bought by the owners of Charleston's main evening paper, ''The Evening Post.'' By 1991, it was apparent Charleston could no longer support two newspapers, so the ''News and Courier'' and ''Evening Post'' were merged into a single morning newspaper, ''The Post and Courier.'' However, the two papers had shared the same editorial staff since the 1980s. The founder of the ''Courier'', Aaron Smith Willington, came from Massachusetts with newspaper experience. In the early 19th century, he was known to row out to meet ships from London, Liverpool, Havre, and New York to get the news earlier than other Charleston papers. He also had a translator working for him, so he could copy items from the Havana newspapers. Rudolph Septimus Siegling also served as editor during the 1800s. The paper acquired several sisters in the 1990s when its parent bought other newspapers and television stations. 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 Post and Courier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
