The U.S. military's independent news source, featuring exclusive reports from Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe and the Far East.
Stars and Stripes is a daily newspaper published for the U.S. military, DoD civilians, contractors, and their families. Unique among the many military publications, Stars and Stripes operates as a First Amendment newspaper, free of control and censorship. We have published continuously in Europe since 1942, and since 1945 in the Pacific. In those two theaters, our readers number over 100,000.*
Today, 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, our daily paper contains all the elements of the hometown paper our service members left behind, from "Dear Abby" to coupons, comics and crossword puzzles. In all, we publish five daily editions: Mideast, Europe, Japan, Korea and Okinawa.
Currently, our Mideast edition is command-sponsored and distributed at no charge to downrange troops. Elsewhere, you can find our paper for sale in coin boxes and at Military Exchange store locations. We also offer affordable home delivery to subscribers in several countries: England, Germany, Guam, Italy, Japan, and Korea. For information on how to subscribe, just click on the country to which you are planning to transfer.
In addition to our regular newspaper, Stars and Stripes produces useful and informative supplements. Among these are Stripes GAMER (six issues a year), and special issues on other topics such as insurance, retirement planning, and Internet shopping. Our Welcome to Europe Guide is published three times annually; Destination Paradise is published for the Pacific community twice a year.
