New York Sun 100 Years Old Details Its History
The Sun began as a four page weekly sheet printed by 23 year old Benjamin Day in 1833. It grew quickly, expanding circulation to 10,000 in a year and moving from morning to evening. Ownership passed to Charles A. Dana and Chester Lord, then Frank Munsey who briefly merged with the New York Herald. After Munsey’s death, it was mutualized with staff stock and eventually led by William T. Dewart, with Keats Speed as managing editor. The piece notes the Sun’s early influence on journalism and its evolution into a modern paper.
