History
[edit | edit source]The Sun may have been originally founded in the early 1900s, as there was a paper by that name then. It was subsequently called the Sunnyvale Standard from around 1904–1958.[3] For a short time in 1959 it was renamed the Sunnyvale Standard and the Daily Mountain View Register Leader.[4]
In its current form, the Sunnyvale Sun was founded as part of a group of weekly newspapers in the Metro Newspapers group, called Silicon Valley Community Newspapers. Dan Pulcrano and David Cohen co-founded Metro Newspapers in 1985.[5][6] In 2001, Silicon Valley Community Newspapers, spun off from Metro Newspapers, under chief executive officer David Cohen.[7] In 2005, Cohen sold Silicon Valley Community Newspapers to Knight Ridder, though he stayed on as publisher and chief executive for the SVCN papers.[8]
In 2006, Knight Ridder was purchased by McClatchy Co.,[9] which immediately sold SVCN and the San Jose Mercury News to MediaNews Group.[10] MediaNews Group is now known as Digital First Media. Silicon Valley Community Newspapers and the Sunnyvale Sun are published as part of the San Jose Mercury News.[1] As part of its merger with San Jose Mercury News, Sunnyvale Sun is offered as part of a subscription model, rather than as a free weekly paper.[11]
