Suburban Journals of Greater St. Louis was a group of publications in the St. Louis region owned by Lee Enterprises. The chain served St. Louis and St. Charles counties in Missouri and Madison, Monroe and St. Clair counties in Illinois.
It published community newspapers, the Ladue News, Savvy Family, St. Louis' Best Bridal and Feast. [1]
Publications were grouped in regional offices in Town and Country, Missouri and Collinsville, Illinois.
The chain for years was distributed to homes for free. The papers became subscription-only in November 2008, a move decried by long-time employees as "the beginning of the end.".[2]
The chain's main competition was the Webster-Kirkwood Times, The South County Times and Call Newspapers in Missouri and The Alton Telegraph, Edwardsville Intelligencer, and Belleville News-Democrat in Illinois.
