THE NEW YORK SUN CELEBRATES FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
NEW YORK – (April 13, 2007) – The New York Sun, launched in 2002, celebrates its fifth anniversary of publishing on April 16th with steady advertising growth, distribution increases, and expanded market penetration.
Overcoming the challenges of an increasingly fragmented media industry in the most competitive media market in the world, The New York Sun has defied naysayers’ predictions of an early demise with a combination of local, New York City-based reporting as well as a broader perspective on global issues that affect the citizens of one of the world’s most international cities. The newspaper’s established reporting staff has gained a well-earned reputation for dogged investigative reporting and exclusive stories, while the opinion side of the paper regularly produces thought-provoking editorials about a wide range of topics.
Knowledgeable New Yorkers have turned to The New York Sun for its comprehensive coverage of politics, arts, culture, business, real estate and sports, spurring a circulation increase of over 200% since 2003. In addition, NYSun.com, the paper’s newly revamped online version, has emerged as one of the go-to sites for timely local, national and international news and analysis. The news site now receives over 1 million monthly unique visitors and over 5 million monthly page views.
“As The New York Sun enters its sixth year of publishing, we are exceptionally proud of the vibrant and outspoken editorial product we have created”, says Editor-in-Chief, Seth Lipsky. “Our local broadsheet addresses the unique needs and enthusiasm of an upscale New York readership who demand serious national and international news coverage, comprehensive sports, business, arts and cultural reporting, as well as an outspoken editorial page.”
August Fields, General Manager, said, “With rapidly growing ad revenue, a highly trafficked web site, veteran sales and marketing staff, and a reporting staff that is highly regarded in the industry, we are well-positioned for continued success and growth.”
