Chicago Sun-Times

Chicago, Ill.

The Chicago Sun-Times is an American daily tabloid published in Chicago, Ill. It is the flagship paper of Wrapports LLC and its Sun-Times Media Group subsidiary.

The Chicago Sun-Times is the oldest continuously published daily newspaper in the city. It began in 1844 as the Chicago Evening Journal, which was the first newspaper to falsely publish the rumor that a cow was responsible for the Great Chicago Fire. The modern paper grew out of the 1948 merger of the Chicago Sun, founded in 1941, and the Chicago Daily Times.
