The ''Troy Daily News'' is an American daily newspaper published every day except Tuesdays and holidays in Troy, Ohio. Its Sunday edition is called the ''Miami Valley Sunday News''. It is owned by Ohio Community Media, a subsidiary of Versa Capital Management. In addition to Troy, the ''Daily News'' circulates in several communities of Miami County, Ohio, including Casstown, Conover, Covington, Fletcher, Piqua, Pleasant Hill, Tipp City and West Milton, as well as Christiansburg in Champaign County. The ''Daily News'' is printed in Tipp City. == History == The newspaper was founded as a daily in 1909.〔 In 1955, the newspaper was bought by George Kuser. He owned the paper until 1998. Kuser was an eccentric businessman who lived abroad in Africa, Italy and Turkey for much of that time. Upon his returns to Troy, he sometimes lived in an apartment built atop the Daily News' newsroom. In the late 1990s, Daily News employees bought stock in the company through an innovative employee stock ownership program. Pulitzer, Inc., of St. Louis, Missouri, bought the paper and its commercial printing operations in November 1998, intending to build a regional chain. Instead, the company sold the ''Daily News'' for an undisclosed price to Brown Publishing Company, which already owned several properties in the area.〔 〕 Brown, a Cincinnati-based family business, purchased the ''Daily News'' in April 2001, integrating it with the ''Piqua Daily Call'' and ''Sidney Daily News'' as its "I-75 Group", sharing the printing plant at Tipp City. In February 2009, these three newspapers stopped printing Tuesday editions because of the weak economy, reducing the Troy paper to six publication days per week. Brown Publishing filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 30, 2010; its Ohio assets, including 14 daily newspapers and about 30 weeklies, were transferred to a new business, Ohio Community Media, which was purchased in May 2011 by Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management.〔 〕 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「Troy Daily News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
