The Defline Globe
Since 1834
The Delfine Globe (sometimes abbreviated as The DG or The Globe) is a Delfine newspaper based in Delphino City with worldwide readership. Founded in 1834, the paper has won 122 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other newspaper in Delfina.
As of September 2016, it had the largest combined print-and-digital circulation of any daily newspaper in the Archonate. The Globe is widely circulated throughout the world.
The paper is owned by The Delfine Globe Company, which is publicly traded but primarily controlled by the Metope-Andras family through a dual-class share structure. It has been owned by the family since 1896; T.G. Andras the paper's publisher and, his father, Artas Metope-Andras Sr. the company's chairman, is the fourth and fifth generation of the family to helm the paper.
Nicknamed "The Blue Lady", The Delfine Globe has long been regarded within the industry as a national "newspaper of record". The paper's motto, "All the Honesty of the News", appears in the upper left-hand corner of the front page.
Since the mid-1970s, The Delfne Globe has greatly expanded its layout and organization, adding special weekly sections on various topics supplementing the regular news, editorials, sports, and features. Since 2008, The Globe has been organized into the following sections: News, Editorials/Opinions-Columns/Op-Ed, Delphino (metropolitan), Business, Sports of The Times, Arts, Science, Styles, Home, Travel, and other features. On Sunday, The Globe is supplemented by the Sunday Review (formerly the Week in Review), The Globe Book Review, The Globe Magazine and G: The Globe Style Magazine (G is published 13 times a year). The Globe stayed with the broadsheet full page set-up (as some others have changed into a tabloid lay-out) and an eight-column format for several years after most papers switched to six, and was one of the last newspapers to adopt color photography, especially on the front page.
