The Minnesota Star Tribune is a daily newspaper based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the seventh-largest newspaper in the United States and the primary news source in Minnesota.
It was created in 1867 as "Minneapolis Tribune" and competed with Minneapolis Daily Star in 1920.[1] The papers merged into Star Tribune in 1982. In 2024, the paper was renamed to The Minnesota Star Tribune.[2] Journalists from Star Tribune have won seven Pulitzer Prizes.
History
Minneapolis Tribune
The newspaper was created to have the Republican Party in one newspaper.[3] On November 30, 1889, downtown Minneapolis's Tribune headquarters caught fire. Seven people were killed and 30 injured, and the building and presses were a total loss.[4][5]
In 1891, Tribune was purchased for $450,000 (equivalent to $12 million in 2020[6]). This helped to get rid of the companies debts. In 1905, Tribune purchased The Minneapolis Times, one of their biggest competitors.[7]
