The '' Tuscaloosa News '' is a daily newspaper serving Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA, and the surrounding area in west central Alabama. In 2012, Halifax Media Group acquired the ''Tuscaloosa News''. Prior to that, the paper's owner was The New York Times Company.〔(Halifax Media purchases 16 newspapers )〕 The New York Times Company acquired the ''News'' in 1985 from the Public Welfare Foundation, a charitable entity.〔"Times Co. In Pact for 3 Dailies," ''The New York Times'', January 15, 1985, p. D21〕 The ''News'' had been donated to that foundation by its owner Edward Marsh, along with other newspapers he owned, before his death in 1964.〔PR Newswire, January 14, 1985〕 In 2015, Halifax was acquired by New Media Investment Group.〔(New Media Announces Agreement to Acquire Halifax Media Group for $280.0 Million )〕 The ''News'' has 12-month average circulation of 32,700 daily and 34,600 Sunday.〔(New York Times Company Business Units )〕 Of the 25 daily newspapers published in Alabama, the ''News'' has the fifth-highest daily circulation.〔(Alabama Press Association: 2008 Ratesheet )〕 Beginning in 2001, the ''News'' constructed and occupied a new facility overlooking the Black Warrior River.〔"Warehouse Sites Allow 'Bama Dailies to Build in Downtown Areas," ''Editor and Publisher Magazine'', November 5, 2001, p. 22〕 The'' Tuscaloosa News'' has received two Pulitzer Prizes. The first was in 1957, when the paper won the prize for editorial writing, by Buford Boone on the issue of segregation at the University of Alabama.〔(Pulitzer Prizes: 1957 )〕 The second Pulitzer Prize was awarded for the paper's outstanding reporting on the tornado outbreaks of April 25 to 28, 2011.〔(Pulitzer Prizes: 2012 )〕 Because Tuscaloosa is home to the University of Alabama, the ''News'' places particular emphasis on coverage of its sports programs, and maintains a separate website for that coverage. Besides its editorial offices in Tuscaloosa, the ''News'' maintains a state capital bureau in Montgomery.〔(The ''Tuscaloosa News'': Staff Listing )〕 Since late 2012, the ''Tuscaloosa News'' has become available in the Birmingham, Alabama, area. The reason for its expansion into Birmingham is to fill a perceived void in the market when the ''Birmingham News'' cut back publication into three days a week earlier in the year. == References == 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 Tuscaloosa News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
