Trevor White is an Irish publisher, food critic and museum director. Born in Dublin, he worked at ''Food & Wine'' before launching ''The Dubliner'' magazine in 2001. Ten years later he created the civic initiative "City of a Thousand Welcomes" and the Little Museum of Dublin. ==''The Dubliner''== ''The Dubliner'' was a monthly city magazine. Its contents included opinion pieces, political and social commentary, and reviews of restaurants, books, music, comedy, theatre, movies and art. The magazine was targeted at a Dublin audience, however it soon became available in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. The magazine was admired; Graydon Carter of ''Vanity Fair'' described it as "a fantastic publication" but according to White it was "an instant failure", and within a few months it was close to bankruptcy. In 2004 the Irish electorate approved a citizenship referendum, which meant that children born on the island of Ireland to parents who were both foreign nationals would no longer have a constitutional right to citizenship. The head of the KKK, Ray Larson, gave an interview to the magazine in which he praised then-Justice Minister Michael McDowell and the Irish voters for restricting citizenship "according to bloodlines rather than birthplace." 〔http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/kkk-welcomes-irish-move-to-limit-citizenship-rights-157112.html〕 In 2006, ''The Dubliner'' libelled Elin Nordegren, Tiger Wood's ex-wife, and printed nude photographs purporting to be of Nordegren.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1571854/Mrs-Tiger-Woods-wins-fake-pornography-case.html〕 Nordegren sued the magazine, of which White was the publisher, in a Dublin court and won substantial damages.〔http://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/dec/07/privacy.pressandpublishing〕 White struggled to keep ''The Dubliner'' afloat for eight years" before selling ''The Dubliner''—and its 100 Best Restaurants Guide—to magazine publisher Michael O'Doherty in November 2008. Shortly afterwards, O'Doherty explained, "The Dubliner is a magazine I've long admired. Launched nine years ago, shortly after VIP, it has a compact but loyal readership, and a reputation for top-class writing. Sure, it has featured the occasional 10-page yawn-fest about Aosdána, but now that I own the business, I can replace that with pictures of Twink." The period is recounted in ''The Dubliner Diaries'', published by Lilliput Press in 2010. 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「Trevor White (food critic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
