The New York Sun

Overview

The New York Sun is an American conservative news outlet based in Manhattan, currently publishing online with a weekly print edition. It is not the same entity as the historical New York Sun (1833-1950), though it adopted that paper's name, motto and nameplate for a 2002 relaunch.

History

A broadsheet under the New York Sun name was relaunched April 16, 2002, by publisher Ronald Weintraub and editor Seth Lipsky as a conservative alternative to The New York Times; it ceased print publication Sept. 30, 2008, continuing as an online-only opinion site. On Nov. 2, 2021, Dovid Efune, former CEO and editor-in-chief of the Algemeiner Journal, acquired the Sun from Lipsky, who remained editor-in-chief; Efune became publisher and chairman. The Sun resumed full-time online reporting in 2022. In October 2025, under Efune, the Sun relaunched a weekly print edition, publishing Fridays in a Berliner format, available on New York City newsstands and via a bundled print/digital subscription. Efune has also relaunched The Washington Star and in 2026 attempted to purchase the UK's Daily Telegraph.

Notable works

As of its October 2025 print relaunch, reported nearly 2 million free email subscribers and tens of thousands of paid subscribers.
