The Post-Star is a daily newspaper in Glens Falls, New York. Its circulation is approximately 35,000. It serves the counties of Warren, Washington and Saratoga in New York State including the cities of Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs. It is the only daily newspaper published in Warren County. It competes with The Saratogian and the Times Union of Albany for the Saratoga County market.
The current Post-Star newspaper traces its roots to 1904 with the founding of a paper called the Morning Post.
In 1909 the owners of The Morning Post acquired a competing newspaper called The Morning Star. They combined the endings of the two names to become The Post-Star.
Local ownership of the newspaper was lost in 1971 when it was sold by longtime publisher and major shareholder Arthur Irving Sr. to Howard Publications.
The Post-Star is currently owned by Lee Enterprises out of Davenport, Iowa. Lee has controlled the paper since February 12, 2002 when it took over operations at all Howard Publication's newspapers.
The Post-Star publishes every day.
The Post-Star is currently one of a very few newspapers that maintain two distinctly different online presences. PostStar.net which is an all inclusive, subscription based offering and the more traditional Poststar.com which is freely available and advertising driven. As of April 2007, PostStar.net will cease as a subscription only offering.
