MINNEAPOLIS STAR, USA (Minnesota)

   Now called the MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE, the MINNEAPOLIS STAR, 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.
THE TRIBUNE and THE STAR merged in 1982, creating the MINNEAPOLIS 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. In 2024, the paper was renamed the MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE.
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.
