Windsor Star

Windsor Star

The "Windsor Star" is the regional newspaper of Windsor, Ontario (the only daily newspaper in Windsor and Essex County), and is owned by CanWest Global Communications. It has attracted the highest readership per capita in its circulation range of any Canadian metropolitan newspaper. The newspaper's main office is located in the downtown area of Windsor, Ontario.

History

It began as the weekly "Windsor Record" in 1888, changing its name to the "Border Cities Star" in 1918 when it was bought by W. F. Herman, to the "Windsor Daily Star" in 1935 following the amalgamation of several small communities, and finally to the "Windsor Star" in 1959. Although W. F. Herman died in 1938, the paper continued under the direction of his wife, Adie Knox Herman, along with Hugh Graybiel and W. L. (Lum) Clark. The paper was sold to Southam Press in 1971 and then to CanWest Global (who bought Southam Press) in 2000.

The "Windsor Star" publishes six days a week, Monday through Saturday.
