Farewell from New York

The New York Sun published its last edition today after Editor Seth Lipsky told employees that the newspaper "explored every possible way to avoid having to cease publication." The last Page One featured "Seven Years of the Sun" in front pages. Inside, the newspaper published its own obituary. With today's edition, The Sun joined the ranks of deceased newspapers, including The Washington Star, which folded in 1981 and is on display in the Newseum's News Corporation News History Gallery.
