''The Star'', often known as the ''Sheffield Star'', is a daily newspaper published in Sheffield, England, from Monday to Saturday each week. Originally a broadsheet, the newspaper became a tabloid in 1989. ''The Star'', the weekly ''Sheffield Telegraph'' and the ''Green 'Un'' are published by Sheffield Newspapers Ltd (owned by Johnston Press), based at York Street in Sheffield City Centre. ''The Star'' is marketed in South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and North Nottinghamshire and reaches its readers through its main edition and district edition for Doncaster. The Rotherham and Barnsley district editions closed in 2008. The total average issue readership for ''The Star'' is 105,498.〔( Joint Industry Committee for Regional Press Research (JICREG) ) data for 1 July 2011〕 The newspaper which subsequently became ''The Star'' began as the ''Sheffield Evening Telegraph'',〔(Newspapers Catalogue of the British Library )〕 the first edition of which was published on 7 June 1887. It soon took over its only local rival, the ''Sheffield Evening Star'', and from June 1888 to December 1897 it was known as the ''Evening Telegraph and Star and Sheffield Daily Times'', then from 1898 to October 1937 as the ''Yorkshire Telegraph and Star''. In 1931, it took over the ''Sheffield Mail'', which had been its main rival since 1920. From 1937 to November 1938, the newspaper became the ''Telegraph & Star'', and finally, from 14 November 1938 as ''The Star''. In April 1989, the newspaper sparked controversy with its reporting on the Hillsborough disaster which occurred in the city and in which 96 Liverpool F.C. fans were fatally injured at an FA Cup semi-final tie. It claimed that the key factor of the tragedy was the drunkenness of Liverpool fans. These claims were met with outrage by Liverpool fans, particularly when it was established that police loss of crowd control and the presence of perimeter fencing between the stands and the pitch were the key factors in the tragedy, although the newspaper which caused the most offence for its reporting was ''The Sun''.〔()〕 Johnston Press began printing ''The Star'' at their new £60 million printing plant in Dinnington, near Rotherham, in September 2006. The plant includes the first 'triple width' newspaper press in the UK. The plant also prints not only several other Johnston Press titles, including the ''Sheffield Telegraph'', ''Scarborough Evening News'', ''Wakefield Express'', ''Derbyshire Times'', and ''Chesterfield Advertiser'', but also a number of external publications, including ''The Sun'' and ''News of the World'' for News International.〔(Journalism jobs and news from Holdthefrontpage.co.uk )〕 In March 2011, ''The Star'' sports columnist and Features Editor Martin Smith received a top national award at the British Sports Journalism Awards, a long-standing event with a tradition of over 30 years. He was named Regional Sports Writer of the Year, for the third time in eight years, by the Sports Journalists' Association.〔(Journalism jobs and news from Holdthefrontpage.co.uk )〕 The current editor of ''The Star'' is James Mitchinson. Jeremy Clifford and John Furbisher held the position previously after Alan Powell retired in 2010. ==References== http://www.sportsjournalists.co.uk/courses-and-training/frankly-speaking-it-is-all-about-how-you-feel/ 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「Sheffield Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
