A masthead is a list usually found on the editorial page of a Newspaper or Magazine, of the members of the newspaper's Editorial board. The earlier Sun was housed at the corners of Broadway and Chambers Streets (where a clock still bears the name) but the current paper publishes from The Cary Building at Church and Chambers.

Editorial stance and relationship with The New York Times

The Sun was founded by a group of investors including Conrad Black with the intent of providing an alternative to The New York Times. Conrad Moffat Black Baron Black of Crossharbour PC, KCSG, OC, (born 25 August 1944, in Montreal, Quebec) is It would put Manhattan and New York state news on its front page (in contrast to the Times' emphasis on national and international news over local issues). Manhattan Island, in New York Harbor, is much the largest part of the Borough of Manhattan, one of the Five Boroughs which form the City of New York New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous The Sun's managing editor Ira Stoll had been a longtime critic of this policy of the Times, as well as what he considered to be liberal bias in Times reporting, in his media watchdog blog smartertimes. Media bias in the United States A blog (a contraction of the term " Web log " is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary descriptions of com. [3] When smartertimes. com became defunct, its Web traffic was redirected to the Sun website.

Stoll has characterized the Sun's political orientation as "right-of-center,"[4] and an associate of Conrad Black predicted in 2002 that the paper would be "certainly neoconservative in its views. Left-right politics or the Left-right political spectrum is a common way of classifying political positions political ideologies, or political parties Neoconservatism (or Neocon is a Right-wing political philosophy that emerged in the United States from the rejection of the Social liberalism, Moral relativism "[3] Editor-in-chief Lipsky describes the agenda of the paper's prominent op-ed page as "limited government, individual liberty, constitutional fundamentals, equality under the law, economic growth . An editorial, leader (UK or leading article (UK is an article in a Newspaper or Magazine that expresses the opinion of the Editor . . standards in literature and culture, education. "[5] The Sun's roster of columnists includes many prominent neoconservative pundits, including the late William F. Buckley, Jr., Michael Barone, Daniel Pipes, and Mark Steyn.

Daniel Pipes (born September 9 1949 is a American historian and political commentator who particularly focuses on the Middle East and Islam. Mark Steyn, born in Canada in 1959, is a self-described conservative writer and commentator about politics arts and culture

The Sun is "known for its pugnacious coverage of Jewish-related issues";[6] in particular, it is "a strong proponent of Israel's right to defend itself. "[4] It has published articles by pro-Israel reporter Aaron Klein. Aaron Klein is an American Journalist and Author. He is a Middle East Correspondent and head of the Jerusalem bureau

The paper courted controversy in 2003 with an unsigned February 6 editorial arguing that protestors against the Iraq war should be prosecuted for treason. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. Protest expresses relatively overt reaction to events or situations sometimes in favor though more often opposed The Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War, the Occupation of Iraq, or the War in Iraq, is an ongoing Military campaign In Law, treason is the Crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's sovereign or Nation. [7][8]

According to Scott Sherman, writing in the left-wing magazine The Nation (4/30/07), the Sun is "a broadsheet that injects conservative ideology into the country's most influential philanthropic, intellectual and media hub; a paper whose day-to-day coverage of New York City emphasizes lower taxes, school vouchers and free-market solutions to urban problems; a paper whose elegant culture pages hold their own against the Times in quality and sophistication; a paper that breaks news and crusades on a single issue; a paper that functions as a journalistic SWAT team against individuals and institutions seen as hostile to Israel and Jews; and a paper that unapologetically displays the scalps of its victims. This article is about the US Publication. For other newspapers magazines and alternate uses by the same name see The Nation (disambiguation. "[9]

In the same article, Mark Malloch Brown, Kofi Annan's chief of staff at the United Nations, describes the Sun as "a pimple on the backside of American journalism. George Mark Malloch Brown Baron Malloch-Brown, KCMG, PC (born 1953 is a Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British Kofi Atta Annan, GCMG (born 8 April 1938 is a Ghanaian Diplomat who served as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations The United Nations ( UN) is an International organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in International law, International security " According to Sherman, Brown "accepts that the paper's obsession with the UN translates into influence. . . he admits the Sun "does punch way above its circulation number, on occasion. " He goes on to say, "Clearly amongst its minuscule circulation were a significant number of diplomats. And so it did at times act as some kind of rebel house paper inside the UN. It fed the gossip mills and what was said in the cafeterias. "[9] Brown's insult was in the context of the Sun's reporting of the UN's central role in the Saddam Hussein Oil-for-Food scandal. Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti ( Arabic: ar صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي --> April 28 1937 &ndash December 30 The Oil-for-Food Programme, established by the United Nations in 1995 (under UN Security Council Resolution 986) and terminated in late 2003 was intended

Adweek columnist Tom Messner calls the Sun "the best paper in New York" (5/14/07), noting that "The New York Sun is a conservative paper, but it gets the respect of the left. Adweek is a weekly American Advertising trade publication that was first published in 1978 The Nation's April 30 issue contains an article on the Sun's rise by Scott Sherman that is as balanced an article as I have ever read in the magazine (not a gibe; you don't read The Nation for balance). "[10]

Richard John Neuhaus writing in First Things descrived the Sun as a paper that has, “. Richard John Neuhaus (born May 21, 1936) is a prominent Catholic priest and Writer born in Canada and living in the First Things is a monthly Ecumenical journal concerned with the creation of a "religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society made itself nearly indispensable for New Yorkers” [11]

[13] In December 2005 the Sun withdrew from the Audit Bureau of Circulations to join the Certified Audit of Circulations, whose other New York clients are the free papers The Village Voice and amNewYork, and began an aggressive campaign of free distribution in select neighborhoods.

(By contrast, the Daily News sells about 700,000 copies a day. ) In an attempt to lasso subscribers in certain New York ZIP codes, the Sun recently offered free subscriptions for a full year, an unusual way for a newspaper to build circulation.
