The Sun is a daily newspaper in Baltimore, Maryland, long considered the newspaper of record there. It was founded on May 17, 1837, by printer Arunah Shepherdson Abell and two associates. The Abell family owned the paper through 1910, when the Black family gained a controlling interest. The paper was sold in 1986 to the Times-Mirror Company of Los Angeles. The same week, the rival Baltimore News American, owned by the Hearst Corporation, announced it would fold. The Sun, like most legacy newspapers in the United States, has suffered a number of setbacks as of late, including a decline in readership, a shrinking newsroom and competition from a new free daily, The Baltimore Examiner.[2] In 2000, the Times-Mirror company was purchased by the Tribune Company, of Chicago.
