The New York Sun was a
politically conservative weekday
daily newspaper published in
New York City from 2002 to 2008. When it debuted on April 16, 2002, adopting the name, motto, and
masthead of an otherwise unrelated earlier New York paper,
The Sun (1833–1950), it became the first general-interest
broadsheet newspaper to be started in New York City in several decades. Since 2009
The Sun has operated as an online-only publisher of political and economic opinion pieces, as well as occasional arts content.
