The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is the only major city-wie newspaper in St. Louis, Missouri. Although written to serve Greater St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch is one of the largest newspapers in the region, and is available and read as far west as Springfield, Missouri and as far south as Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The current owner is Lee Enterprises of Davenport, Iowa, which relies heavily on wire services, dispatches, and guest editorials from other newspapers. Critics maintain that these policies have severely compromised the journalistic prestige that this newspaper held when owned by the Joseph Pulitzer family.
