Joplin (Mo.) Globe readers not only have an appetite for breaking news, but also history — local, state and national. Since 2008, the newspaper has produced eight original history series and monetized its content with sponsors.
Last year the newspaper published 20 weekly profiles about famous baseball players from the area. Previous series included Our Historic Missourians, Our Founding Fathers and Our Community in 100 Objects. When the first series — on U.S. presidents — ran eight years ago, Globe editor Carol Stark said she had no idea the daily installments would become so popular.
