NEW YORK — The New York Sun is shutting down.
Newspaper spokesman Michael Moi says Tuesday’s edition of the conservative-leaning broadsheet will be the last.
Editor Seth Lipsky announced on Sept. 4 that the feisty paper had endured “substantial” losses and would fold at the end of the month without a new infusion of cash.
The publication laid claim to a grand tradition when it launched in 2002 with the name of a Pulitzer Prize-winning giant that published for more than a century before disappearing in a merger in 1950.
Lipsky had hoped to carve out a profitable niche among New Yorkers, providing an alternative voice in a very crowded media market.
