(Redirected from New York Sun (historical))
The original 'New York ''Sun''' began publication September 3, 1833, as a morning newspaper (edited by Benjamin Day with the slogan "It Shines for All"); an evening edition was introduced in 1887. The morning edition of the ''Sun'' was subsumed by the ''New York Herald'' in 1919. The ''Evening Sun'' continued until January 4, 1950, when it merged with the ''New York World-Telegram'' to form a new paper called the ''New York World-Telegram and Sun''; in 1966, this paper became part of the ''New York World Journal Tribune'', which folded the following year.
In 2002, a new newspaper was launched in New York with the same name but no other connection to the original ''Sun''.
The ''Sun'' first became famous for its central role in the Great Moon Hoax of 1835. Today it is best known for the 1897 editorial "Is There a Santa Claus?" (commonly referred to as "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus"), written by Francis Pharcellus Church. John B. Bogart, city editor of the ''Sun'' between 1873 and 1890, made what is perhaps the most frequently quoted definition of the journalistic endeavor: "When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news."[1] (The quotation is frequently attributed to Charles Dana, ''Sun'' editor and part-owner between 1868 and 1897.) In 1947–48, the ''Sun'' featured a groundbreaking series of articles by Malcolm Johnson, "Crime on the Waterfront," that won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in 1949. The series served as the basis for the 1954 movie ''On the Waterfront''. In the year 1868 the New York Sun hired their first female reporter by the name of Emily Verdery Bettey.
The masthead of the original ''Sun'' is visible in a montage of newspaper clippings in a scene of the 1972 film ''The Godfather''.
