''The Republic'' is an American daily newspaper published in Columbus, Indiana. It is owned by Home News Enterprises. It covers the city of Columbus and several nearby communities in Bartholomew and Jennings counties. ==History== The parent company's current president, Jeffrey N. Brown, is the great-grandson of Isaac T. Brown, who founded ''The Columbus Republican'', a weekly newspaper, in 1872. The first issue was published on Thursday, April 4, 1872. Isaac's father, Isaac M. Brown, served as the newspaper's editor. The Browns converted their newspaper to daily publication November 12, 1877, under the name ''Columbus Evening Republican''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dailyjournal.net/view/page/Mission%20History )〕 The newspaper's name was shortened to ''The Republic'' in January 1967. Isaac T. Brown died in 1917, leaving his son Raymond Brown in sole control of the newspaper. It has stayed in the Brown family ever since; its current owner Home News Enterprises is a partnership established by Brown family members in 1994.〔 Over the past 50 years, ''The Republic'' has become the flagship newspaper of a chain of dailies and weeklies in Indiana, including several that adjoin ''The Republic'' coverage area. Robert N. Brown, Raymond's son, in 1963 founded the ''Daily Journal'' in Johnson County, which borders Bartholomew County to the north.〔 The company expanded its footprint in the Columbus area twice more in the 21st century, purchasing the weekly ''Brown County Democrat'' in 2002,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bcdemocrat.com/index.php?id=6 )〕 and ''The Tribune'' daily in Jackson County (immediately south of Bartholomew County) in 2012. 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 Republic (Columbus, Indiana)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
