The New York Globe

History

Jason Rogers, grandson of William Cauldwell, who got his start in the newspaper business at Cauldwell's Sunday Mercury, helped launch the Globe as assistant publisher. He became publisher in 1910.

In 1912, the Globe was one of a cooperative of four newspapers, including the Chicago Daily News, The Boston Globe, and the Philadelphia Bulletin, to form the Associated Newspapers syndicate.

The Globe was known for originating Robert Ripley's popular feature Ripley's Believe it or Not! in 1918. In 1916, the paper distributed the theatrical documentary Germany on the Firing Line, under the titles The Globe's War Films and The Evening Globe's "Germany at the Firing Line". One publisher was Samuel Strauss. Notable contributors included a fledgling Maxwell Anderson, and cartoonist Percy Crosby, then a sports columnist.

Sale

Frank Munsey bought the paper in 1923. Munsey, who consolidated a number of papers, then merged the Globe into the New York Sun, thus ending the "oldest daily newspaper in the United States" at that time.
