The ''Star Tribune'' is the largest newspaper in Minnesota and is published seven days each week in an edition for the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and a statewide version available across Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, Iowa, and North Dakota. In 2003, the paper's Sunday circulation was over 669,000 copies, and over 375,000 on weekdays. The paper's largest competitor is the Saint Paul, Minnesota-based ''Saint Paul Pioneer Press'', though it competes with a number of other papers in its wide circulation area. ==History== Today's Star Tribune (or Strib, as some prefer to say), is the product of mergers between several newspapers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The ''Minneapolis Tribune'' was founded in 1867, and operated by the Murphy family between 1891 and 1941. The ''Minneapolis Journal'' was founded in 1878 as an evening paper. The ''Minneapolis Times'' was a morning paper starting in 1899; it was purchased by the Tribune in 1905 and its name was used in various forms until 1948. Finally the ''Minnesota Daily Star'' began printing in 1920, and later became the ''Minneapolis Star'', distributed in the evening. The ''Star'' was purchased by the Cowles family in 1935, the ''Journal'' was purchased in 1939 and merged, the ''Tribune'' was bought in 1941. The papers (''Star Journal'' and ''Tribune'') were operated as separate morning and evening papers. In 1982, the papers were merged into the ''Minneapolis Star and Tribune'', and in 1987 adopted the present name Star Tribune: ''Newspaper of the Twin Cities''. In 1998 the McClatchy Newspapers purchased Cowles Media Company. In 1987, the paper had separate Minneapolis, St. Paul, and statewide editions but today it has two editions: a Minneapolis-St. Paul metro-area edition, and a "state" edition covering news throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. The Star Tribune is considered by some to be a liberal newspaper especially when compared to the St. Paul-based ''Pioneer Press'', which others consider relatively conservative. Some detractors refer to the Star Tribune as the "Red Star Tribune" or the "Star and Sickle." In 2004, however, some of the perceived liberal bias of the paper was questioned when it refused to honor an agreement with the Twin Cities' Gay pride to trade advertisements. Allegedly, the newspaper refused to run the advertisement because it featured two men kissing, in violation of their newspaper policy displaying kisses of any kind. After numerous examples of opposite-gender kissing from their own publication were shown to the paper, they still refused to run the ad causing the Pride committee to file a complaint with the city. == See also == * ''City Pages'' * ''Minnesota Daily'' * ''Saint Paul Pioneer Press'' == External links == * [http://www.startribune.com/ startribune.com] McClatchy Newspapers of Minnesota
