The Joplin Globe
The Joplin Globe is a seven-day digital edition and five-day print edition daily newspaper published in Joplin, Missouri, United States, covering parts of 14 counties in southwestern Missouri. Ottaway Community Newspapers owned the Globe from 1975 to 2002.[2] Since 2002, it has been owned by CNHI.[3]
The first issue of The Globe was published on August 9, 1896. Its marketing slogan is "It's your world. We deliver it."[4] In 2012, The Globe was named "Newspaper of the Year" by the Local Media Association.[5]
Bonnie and Clyde scoop
In 1933, The Joplin Globe had a country-wide scoop, obtaining the camera left behind by Bonnie and Clyde after a deadly confrontation with local police, developing and publishing the rolls of film in it, including the now-legendary photos of Bonnie Parker holding Clyde Barrow at mock gunpoint and of Bonnie with her foot on a fender, pistol in her hand, and cigar in her mouth.[6]
Founder
Gilbert Barbee was born in 1850 in Ritchey, Newton County, Missouri.[7] Barbee made his fortune in lead mining[7] and owned the Joplin Globe from 1899 to 1911. He later established and published the Joplin Tribune.[8] Barbee was an active member of the Democratic Party[7][8] and he owned the Barbee Park racetrack and the House of Lords pub.[8][9] Barbee also donated money and land to build the Children's Home, an orphanage in Joplin.[10] He died in 1924 in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri.[7][8]
