The City Sun
''The City Sun'' was a weekly newspaper that was published in Brooklyn from 1984 through 1996. Its primary focus was on issues of interest to African Americans in New York City.

In 1989 ''The City Sun'', together with the ''Amsterdam News'', another black-owned newspaper in New York, published the name of the "Central Park jogger", Trisha Meili, who had been raped and beaten almost to death.
