Sporting Globe
The Sporting Globe was a Melbourne institution for sports lovers and was published by the Herald and Weekly Times on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday evenings from 1922 to 1996.
The Saturday edition carried results of the last race of the day as well as the final scores of the football. The Saturday Sporting Globe was in its heyday prior to the introduction of television in 1956, as this was a time when the majority of sport was played on Saturdays and The Globe provided a combination of in-depth coverage of the sports along with action photos.
An identifying feature of The Sporting Globe was the pink colour of its newsprint.
