Stars and Stripes exists to provide independent news and information to the U.S. military community, comprised of active-duty, DoD civilians, contractors, and their families. Unique among the many Department of Defense authorized news outlets, only Stars and Stripes is guaranteed First Amendment privileges that are subject to Congressional oversight.
Stars and Stripes has published a newspaper continuously since World War II. The unique military coverage first became available online in 1999. Today, in addition to Stripes.com, they publish four daily newspaper editions (Mideast, Europe, Japan and Korea), several weekly and monthly publications, and numerous special supplements. Average daily readers number about 420,000.
Stars and Stripes maintains news bureaus in Europe, Pacific and the Middle East to provide first-hand reporting on events in those theaters. In addition to news and sports, Stars and Stripes print editions contain all the elements of an American “hometown paper,” from "Dear Abby" to comics, horoscopes, and crossword puzzles.
The Mideast edition is command-sponsored and distributed at no charge to forces stationed in war zones. The other editions are for sale on base in coin boxes and at military exchanges. Home delivery to subscribers is available in Belgium, England, Germany, Guam, Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain and Turkey.
Other Stars and Stripes publications include Stripes GAMER (six issues a year), and special supplements focused on such topics as education, insurance, retirement planning, and travel. Welcome to Europe Guide is published three times annually; Destination Paradise is published for the Pacific community twice a year.
