New York World-Telegram and The Sun

The Sun was a New York newspaper published from 1833 until 1950. It was considered a serious paper, like the city's two more successful broadsheets, The New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune.

From 1860-1931, the New York World was published daily.

Founded by James Gordon Bennett as The Evening Telegram in 1867, the newspaper began as the evening edition of The New York Herald, which itself published its first issue in 1835.

In 1931, the World merged with the New York Telegram to become the New York World-Telegram.

In 1950, the paper became the New York World-Telegram & Sun with the acquisition of the New York Sun.

In 1966, the World-Telegram & Sun ceased publication and became a component of the short-lived New York World Journal Tribune.
