The ''Vancouver Courier'' is a Canadian semiweekly local newspaper published in Vancouver, British Columbia by the Van-Net chain owned by Glacier Media Group. Currently, it is Canada's largest distributed community newspaper, with a weekly distribution of 265,000. The circulation estimate includes The ''Vancouver Courier'', The ''Vancouver Courier Downtown'', and the ''Vancouver Courier Westside'', and The ''Vancouver Courier Eastside'' on Wednesdays. Delivered to homes the paper is distributed from UBC to the Vancouver proper boundary at Boundary Road.〔 The newspaper began as an independent in 1908 as the ''Eburne News''. Within the last 11 years its ownership has had four owners: first, the national Southam chain, then Hollinger, CanWest and now Postmedia Network Inc, who took over control when they bought CanWest in June 2010. It expanded from being a neighbourhood newspaper to its current city-wide circulation area after acquiring the ''Vancouver Echo'' and the ''West End Times''. The paper has twice been named "Best Community Newspaper in B.C." and was the second runner-up in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association's general excellence competition. Unlike most community newspapers, which feature several news stories on their front pages, the Courier's Friday front page features a single, lengthy feature that runs over several pages. The paper also frequently publishes material on local Vancouver history, usually written by Lisa Smedman. Columnists include Geoff Olson, Allen Garr, Fiona Hughes and Keith Baldrey. The poet Earle Birney worked at the paper in the mid-1920s as a summer reporter and editor. ==See also== * Vancouver Sun * Vancouver Province * National Post * List of newspapers in Canada 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「Vancouver Courier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
