The St. Louis Globe-Democrat (casually referred to as The Globe) was a daily newspaper based in St. Louis, Missouri. It began operations on July 1, 1852 as the Missouri Democrat, which later merged with the St. Louis Globe. It was St. Louis' conservative daily newspaper for much of its run. The newspaper was the morning paper for Greater St. Louis, and had some competition from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (created by a merger of the St. Louis Post and the St. Louis Dispatch) and the St. Louis Star-Times (created by a merger of the St. Louis Star and the St. Louis Times). The Star-Times ceased operations in the 1950s. Both the Globe-Democrat and the rival Post-Dispatch carried on for three more decades, eventually under a joint operating agreement, until the Globe-Democrat, after changing ownership and leaving the agreement, finally ceased operations in October, 1986.
