St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is owned by Lee Enterprises, a regional newspaper chain now controlled by billionaire David Hoffmann, who acquired a majority stake in late 2025. The paper carries a center-left editorial orientation rooted in the reform tradition established by founder Joseph Pulitzer in 1878. Its editorial board has been broadly critical of the Trump administration's second term, publishing pieces opposing its refugee policy, military actions, and what it describes as constitutional overreach.
