It serves the counties of [Warren](/source/Warren_County%2C_New_York), [Washington](/source/Washington_County%2C_New_York) and [Saratoga](/source/Saratoga_County%2C_New_York) in New York State including the cities of [Glens Falls](/source/Glens_Falls%2C_New_York) and [Saratoga Springs](/source/Saratoga_Springs%2C_New_York).

==History==
The current ''Post-Star'' newspaper traces its roots to 1904 with the founding of a paper called ''The Morning Post''.

In 1909 the owners of ''The Morning Post'' acquired a competing newspaper called ''The Morning Star'' and merged the two papers into ''The Post-Star''.

The newspaper was sold in 1971 by longtime publisher and major shareholder Arthur Irving Sr. to [Howard Publications](/source/Howard_Publications).<ref name="sale1970">(30 December 1970). [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/346987102/ Glen Falls Newspapers Have Been Purchased By Howard Publications, Oceanside, Calif; Carl M. Davidson Has Been Named Publisher], ''The Post-Star'', p.1 (paywall)</ref>

''The Post-Star'' is currently owned by [Lee Enterprises](/source/Lee_Enterprises) out of [Davenport, Iowa](/source/Davenport%2C_Iowa). Lee has controlled the paper since February 12, 2002, when it merged with Howard Publications.

On April 20, 2009, the Post-Star won its first [Pulitzer Prize](/source/Pulitzer_Prize), for the editorial work of Mark Mahoney.<ref name="pulitzer">{{cite web|url=https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090420/ap_on_re_us/pulitzers |title=Papers win Pulitzers for bringing down gov, mayor |publisher=Associated Press (via Yahoo!

For a time, the ''Post-Star'' maintained two distinctly different online presences. PostStar.net was an all-inclusive, subscription-based offering; Poststar.com offers the reader a few free articles per month, requiring a subscription beyond that. As of April 2007, PostStar.net ceased operation.

Starting July 11, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-11 |title=To our readers: Your expanded Post-Star coming soon |url=https://poststar.com/news/local/to-our-readers-your-expanded-post-star-coming-soon/article_1ca3a7ba-06ec-11ee-9b5d-a72ee66ba2c1.html |access-date=2023-07-19 |website=The Post Star |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Karlin |first=Rick |date=2023-06-23 |title=Glens Falls Post-Star newspaper will print three days a week |url=https://www.timesunion.com/business/article/glens-falls-post-star-newspaper-print-three-days-18167148.php |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=Times Union |language=en-US}}</ref>
