The Hokkaido Shimbun newspaper, headquartered in Sapporo, distributes throughout the prefecture and is one of the leading daily newspapers in Hokkaido. It is one of the three major regional newspapers in Japan, along with the Chunichi Shimbun and the Nishinippon Shimbun, and its share of sales in the prefecture far exceeds the combined total of all national newspapers. In 1942 (Showa 17), in line with the wartime newspaper mergers, 11 major daily newspapers in Hokkaido at the time (Hokkai Times, Otaru Shimbun, Asahikawa Shimbun, Asahikawa Times, Shin-Hakodate, Muroran Nippo, Kushiro Shimbun, Tokachi Mainichi Shimbun, Kitami Shimbun, Abashiri Shimpo, and Nemuro Shimbun) merged to form the Hokkaido Shimbun newspaper on November 1st. Its editorial mission is to shed light on the current state of affairs in Hokkaido and contribute to the development of industry and the improvement of people's lives, and its paper projects that focus on the lives of Hokkaido residents have won the support of its readers. Although it is a local newspaper, it has overseas bureaus in Washington, London, Beijing, Moscow, and other locations. It is also actively modernizing its editing and production techniques, including computer-based collection and distribution. Circulation is approximately 1,152,900 copies for the morning edition and 563,500 copies for the evening edition (January 2011).

札幌市に本社を置く北海道新聞社が全道に頒布している道内屈指の日刊新聞。『中日新聞』『西日本新聞』と並ぶ、日本三大ブロック紙の一つであり、道内での販売部数のシェアは、全国紙の合計をはるかに上回る。1942年(昭和17)戦時新聞統合に沿って、当時北海道内にあった主要日刊新聞11社(『北海タイムス』『小樽(おたる)新聞』『旭川(あさひかわ)新聞』『旭川タイムス』『新函館(はこだて)』『室蘭(むろらん)日報』『釧路(くしろ)新聞』『十勝(とかち)毎日新聞』『北見新聞』『網走(あばしり)新報』『根室新聞』)が統合し、11月1日から『北海道新聞』として発足した。北海道の実情を解明し、産業の進展と生活の向上に寄与することなどを編集綱領にうたい、道民に密着した紙面企画が読者の支持を得ている。地方紙ながら、ワシントン、ロンドン、北京(ペキン)、モスクワなどに海外支局をもっている。また、コンピュータによる集配信をはじめ編集・製作技術の近代化を意欲的に進めている。発行部数は朝刊約115万2900部、夕刊約56万3500部(2011年1月)。 [高須正郎・伊藤高史] 『北海道新聞社社史編纂室編『北海道新聞五十年史』(1993・北海道新聞社)』 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
