History

The ''Cornell Sun'' was founded in 1880 by William Ballard Hoyt to challenge Cornell's original and leading publication, the weekly ''Cornell Era'' (founded 1868). ''The Sun'' boasted in its opening paragraph: "We have no indulgence to ask, no favors to beg." The paper incorporated and changed to daily frequency, earning its longstanding boast "Ithaca's Only Morning Newspaper." In 1912 it added a second, "first collegiate member of the Associated Press." Throughout its history, the publication has faced competition from ''
The Cornell Review ''The Cornell Review'' is an independent newspaper published by students of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. With the motto, "We Do Not Apologize," the ''Review'' has a history in conservative journalism and was once one of the leading c ...
'' and the '' Ithaca Journal'' in the market for Cornell news and analysis. Common features include "Cornell's 161 Faces," which highlights a diverse group of Cornell students and a Sex Column that appears every Thursday. Following the shift of its main competitor, the '' Ithaca Journal'', from evening to morning daily publication in 1996, ''The Sun'' changed its traditional front page slogan which, after several iterations, now states "Independent Since 1880." This period also marked a shift in ''The Sun''s content from national to local and university-related stories. In January 2003, the Cornell Daily Sun Alumni Association purchased the former Elks Lodge in downtown Ithaca, erected 1916. Led by

Now called the Cornell Daily Sun Building, it has housed the paper's offices since June 2003 and is coincidentally located next door to the ''Ithaca Journal''s offices. In the fall semester of 2004, ''The Sun'' turned free and started featuring full-color front and back pages as part of a redesign in its layout. These moves were partially effected to boost circulation in response to Cornell's Student Assembly's decision to provide ''
