St. Louis Globe-Democrat

St. Louis Globe-Democrat

The "St. Louis Globe-Democrat" (casually referred to as "The Globe") was a daily newspaper based in St. Louis, Missouri. It began operations on July 1, 1852 as the Missouri "Democrat", which later merged with the St. Louis "Globe". It was St. Louis' conservative daily newspaper for much of its run. The newspaper was the morning paper for Greater St. Louis, and had some competition from the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" (created by a merger of the St. Louis "Post" and the St. Louis "Dispatch") and the St. Louis "Star-Times" (created by a merger of the St. Louis "Star" and the St. Louis "Times"). The "Star-Times" ceased operations in the 1950s. Both the "Globe-Democrat" and the rival "Post-Dispatch" carried on for three more decades, eventually under a joint operating agreement, until the "Globe-Democrat", after changing ownership and leaving the agreement, finally ceased operations in October 1986.
