The ''Whitby Gazette'' is an English provincial newspaper published in Whitby, North Yorkshire. ==History== The ''Whitby Gazette'' was founded on 6 July 1854 by Ralph Horne, a local printer, bookseller, stationer, bookbinder, paperhanger and shipowner, who was also a member of the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society. It was originally published as the ''Whitby Gazette: Horne's List of Visitors'', and was little more than a list of visitors to the seaside town. However, on 2 January 1858, it became a proper twice-weekly newspaper, published on Tuesday and Friday each week. On the death of Ralph Horne in 1892, his two sons, H. S. “Mr Harry” Horne and F. W. “Mr Fred” Horne had taken over as Editor and Chairman respectively. In 1920, “Mr Harry” Horne retired and one of “Mr Fred” Horne's sons, William Mackenzie Horne, took over the editorship between the wars. In 1949, “Mr Fred” Horne died thereby relinquishing the Chairmanship, and William Mackenzie's son, L. M. “Mr Lionel” Horne, took over the running of the entire business. The ''Gazette'' stopped being privately owned by the Horne family on 30 March 1978, when Lionel Horne, the great grandson of Ralph Horne, died. The ''Gazette'' briefly experimented with a paywall, but this was quickly abandoned as the number of subscribers remained low. The ''Gazette'' was re-launched as weekly edition in January 2012 and the paper is now published on a Friday. It is published by Yorkshire Regional Newspapers Ltd, part of Johnston Press. As of January 2014, the staff include editorial director Ed Asquith, sports editor Duncan Atkins and head of photography Ceri Oakes. The reporting team consists of chief reporter Emma Spencer and senior reporter Karl Hansell. The ''Whitby Gazette'' is the only newspaper in the world to have been read on the highest mountain on each of the seven continents, thanks to the efforts of mountaineer Alistair Sutcliffe, who lives in a village near to the seaside port. Lewis Carroll's first ever published literary works, ''Coronach'' and the ''Lady of the Ladle'', were published in the ''Whitby Gazette'' between 1854 and 1856. 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「Whitby Gazette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
