History
The Globe Gazette traces its history back to 1862 and a weekly newspaper called the Cerro Gordo Press, named for Cerro Gordo county. By the time Lee Enterprises acquired the newspaper in 1925 under its current name, it had been known as the Republican, the Express, the Express-Republican, the Freeman, the Western Democrat, the Herald, the Times-Herald, the Gazette, and the Globe. The newspaper published in the afternoon Monday through Saturday until 1977, when the Saturday edition switched to morning publication. In 1981, all publication switched to a morning schedule. Sunday Globes began publication in 1985.
Content
Reporting focuses on local news. Opinions and editorials published by the newspaper represent a major forum for debate on local issues. The Globe entered the Internet news arena much earlier than most small newspapers and continues to offer extra content on its website. The newspaper has recently been trying to reach out to a broader North Iowa audience.
