TheEdmonton Sun is a dailynewspaper andnews website published inEdmonton,Alberta, Canada. It is owned byPostmedia following its 2015 acquisition ofSun Media fromQuebecor.
It began publishing Sunday April 2, 1978 and shares many characteristics with Sun Media's other tabloids, including an emphasis on local news stories, itsconservative editorial stance, extensive sports coverage, and a dailySunshine Girl.
In 2014, Postmedia Network, the owner of the Edmonton Journal, purchased several newspapers and websites from Quebecor. This made it that both the Edmonton Sun and its main competitor, theEdmonton Journal were both owned by Postmedia.[2] In 2016 it was announced that the Journal and Sun's newsrooms and operations would be merged while both newspapers would continue to be published. This also led to the cuts of many staff between the two papers.[3]
The circulation ofEdmonton Sun has declined. Its total circulation dropped by 34 percent to 37,649 copies daily from 2009 to 2015.[4]
As of 2023, Edmonton Sun has a daily circulation of approximately 50,000 copies, and its readership includes a diverse mix of ages and demographics. The newspaper is available for purchase at newsstands and convenience stores throughout the city, as well as through home delivery.
