Manchester Examiner
The ''Manchester Examiner'' was a newspaper based in Manchester, England, that was founded around 1845–1846. Initially intended as an organ to promote the idea of Manchester Liberalism, a decline in its later years led to a takeover by a group who intended to use it to promote Liberal Unionism without actually being directly associated with the Liberal Unionist Party (LUP). That scheme soon failed due to severe financial problems, leading the LUP to take control of the newspaper for a brief period just before the 1892 general election campaign. It was then sold at a significant loss to a competitor, who also owned the ''Manchester Courier''. The last edition was published in 1894 before it was absorbed by the ''Empire News''.

The initial owners were Thomas Ballantyne, Joh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
