The Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in Minnesota. It originated as the "Minneapolis Tribune" in 1867 and the competing "Minneapolis Daily Star" in 1920. During the 1930s and 1940s Minneapolis's competing newspapers were consolidated, with the "Tribune" published in the morning and the "Star" in the evening. They merged in 1982, creating the "Star and Tribune", and it was renamed to "Star Tribune" in 1987. After a tumultuous period in which the newspaper was sold and re-sold and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009, it was purchased by local businessman Glen Taylor in 2014.
