The Indianapolis Star is Indiana's largest daily newspaper, founded on June 6, 1903, by George F. McCulloch. It quickly gained popularity with a unique promotional event that featured a hot-air balloonist dropping 500,000 red cardboard stars over the city. The paper initially offered free copies and rapidly grew to over 70,000 paid subscribers within six months. The Indianapolis Star provides comprehensive coverage of local, national, and international news, focusing on investigative journalism and community advocacy. It has a rich history of expanding its features, including a women’s section and sports coverage. The newspaper also offers a digital archive with over 2.5 million searchable pages, preserving a wealth of historical content. Throughout its history, the Star has maintained extensive photographic archives that document Indiana’s people and events.
