Earlier and Other Newspapers With 'Sun' in The Title
- The first newspaper to carry The Sun masthead was published (by John Heriot) in 1792 by the Pitt government to counter the pro-revolutionary press at that time. Publication ceased in 1806
- There is a regional newspaper in the North East of England called The Sunday Sun. It has been published since 1919.
- Another use of the word Sun as a British newspaper title was for the Student Newspaper of The Birmingham College of Advanced Technology (which became Aston University in 1966). The Birmingham Sun – SUN stood for Student Union Newspaper and was founded in 1951
- In South Africa, two newspapers take their inspiration from The Sun, including the name. The Daily Sun (Johannesburg) is the country's biggest selling daily newspaper, and by far the most sensationalist. Die Kaapse Son (Cape Town) started out as a weekly newspaper, but became so successful that it eventually became a daily. Two regional (weekly) editions, respectively in Johannesburg and Bloemfontein, were less successful, and have folded.
- In Canada, there is a series of Suns which have aped the style of the British tabloid press. The Toronto Sun began publication in 1971. Sister papers were subsequently launched in a number of Canadian cities.
- In the Isle of Man, the Manx Sun was published from the 1830s till 1906.

“There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
