The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is an online local news organization that focuses on sports and political news.
The site was founded in 2009 by local businessman Dan Rositano with a staff of nine, though it laid off three reporters in May 2010.
The Globe-Democrat was originally a daily newspaper founded in 1852 as the Missouri Democrat and shut down by Newhouse in 1986. Since 1995, it has also been the name of a historical newspaper.
