The Sun (New York) - Legacy

Legacy

The masthead of the original Sun is visible in a montage of newspaper clippings in a scene of the 1972 film The Godfather. The newspaper's offices, a converted department store at 280 Broadway, between Chambers and Reade streets in lower Manhattan, now known as "The Sun Building" and famous for the clocks that bear the newspaper's masthead and motto, were recognized as a NYC landmark in 1986.

In 2002 a new broadsheet styled The New York Sun, and bearing the old newspaper's masthead and motto, was launched as a "conservative alternative" and local-news focused alternative to The New York Times and other New York newspapers. It ceased publication on September 30, 2008.
