Bio

Founded by Joseph Pulitzer in 1878, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is a daily four-color broadsheet newspaper that covers regional, national, and international news. The platform of the publication, according to Pulitzer, is that it "will always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty." The metro-news section offers comprehensive local and regional news serving St. Charles County, Illinois and metro St. Louis. The front page features a digest summarizing the main news of the day. The Explore section focuses on consumer-oriented travel trends and tips. Other topics covered in the publication include music, travel, theater, arts, food, and books. The publication's staff does not accept unsolicited e-mail attachments due to virus dangers. All calendar and event items should be submitted through http://events.stltoday.com/listings. The outlet offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
