Star Tribune

The ''Star Tribune'' is an American daily newspaper based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is Minnesota's largest newspaper and the eighth-largest in the United States by circulation, and is distributed throughout the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the state, and the Upper Midwest.

It originated as the ''Minneapolis Tribune'' in 1867 and the competing ''Minneapolis Daily Star'' in 1920. During the 1930s and 1940s, the two papers consolidated, with the ''Tribune'' published in the morning and the ''Star'' in the evening. They merged in 1982, creating the ''Star and Tribune'', renamed the ''Star Tribune'' in 1987. After a tumultuous period in which the newspaper was sold and resold and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009, it was purchased by local businessman Glen Taylor in 2014.

The ''Star Tribune'' typically contains national, international, and local news, sports, business, and lifestyle stories. Journalists from the ''Star Tribune'' and its predecessor newspapers have won seven Pulitzer Prizes. Provided by Wikipedia
