Day of Design: 20 Years of Newspaper Design

Honolulu Star-Bulletin

Honolulu, Hawaii

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin was a daily newspaper based in Honolulu, Hawaii. At the time publication ceased on June 6, 2010, it was the second largest daily newspaper in the state of Hawaii after The Honolulu Advertiser. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin, along with a sister publication called MidWeek, was owned by Black Press of Victoria, Canada and administered by a council of local Hawaii investors. The daily merged with the Advertiser on June 7, 2010, to form the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, after Black Press’s attempts to find a buyer fell through.
