The Watauga Democrat is a newspaper published in Boone, North Carolina. It is printed three days a week, on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. In 2002, its average paid circulation was 20,832. The ''Watauga Democrat'' began as a political newspaper but quickly evolved into a highly respected non-partisan publication that chronicles local news in Watauga County. ==Beginnings== In July 1888, Joseph Spainhour began printing a weekly newspaper he named the ''Watauga Democrat''. The newspaper's stated mission was to be "the voice of the Watauga Democrat Party." One year later, the ''Democrat'' was purchased by D.B. and D.D. Dougherty and R.C. Rivers. Rivers subsequently bought out the Doughertys and became sole owner of the newspaper. Early issues of the ''Democrat'' were printed on a hand-operated press capable of printing only one page at a time. Each edition had a maximum of four pages. A one-year subscription in 1888 was $1, and a one-inch classified ad could be bought for 75 cents. 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「Watauga Democrat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
