Founded in 1833, The New York Sun is older than The New York Times and The Associated Press — receiving its first Pulitzers soon after the creation of the award in the early 1900s.

The Sun stood for emancipation decades before the Civil War, employed the first female reporter in American journalism, and flew the flag of Free Cuba over lower Broadway in the late 19th century.
We wish the same were true for all American newsrooms.

In recent years, our most storied journalistic institutions have lost their mooring. Odds are, you’re among the overwhelming majority of Americans that express a profound distrust of the press.
We couldn’t agree with you more, which is why we’re thrilled the Sun is back to shine for all.
