The New York Sun is an American conservative news website and former newspaper based in Manhattan, New York.[1] From 2009 to 2021, it operated as an (occasional and erratic) online-only publisher of political and economic opinion pieces, as well as occasional arts content. Coming under new management in November 2021, it began full-time online publication in 2022.[1][2]

From 2002 to 2008, The Sun was a printed daily newspaper distributed in New York City.[3][4] It debuted on April 16, 2002, claiming descent from, and adopting the name, motto, and nameplate of, the earlier New York paper The Sun (1833–1950).[5] It became the first general-interest broadsheet newspaper to be started in New York City in several decades.

On November 2, 2021, The New York Sun was acquired by Dovid Efune, former CEO and editor-in-chief of the Algemeiner Journal. Efune confirmed Seth Lipsky in the position of editor-in-chief.[2] Following Efune's acquisition, The New York Sun resumed full-time online reporting in 2022, focusing on a digital-first strategy.[1]
