In 1910 Hugh Denison founded Sun Newspaper Ltd (later Sun Newspapers Ltd) and took over publication of the old and ailing Australian Star and its sister Sunday Sun, appointing Monty Grover as editor-in-chief. [2] The Star became The Sun, and the Sunday Sun became The Sun: Sunday edition on 11 December 1910.

[5] Sun Newspapers Ltd and S. Bennett Ltd were de-listed on the Stock Exchange and replaced with Associated Newspapers Ltd. [6] Associated Newspapers Ltd then took over Smith's Weekly and its subsidiaries the Daily Guardian and Sunday Guardian .
In 1953, The Sun was acquired from Associated Newspapers by Fairfax Holdings in Sydney, Australia, as the afternoon companion to The Sydney Morning Herald . At the same time, the former Sunday edition, the Sunday Sun, was discontinued and merged with the Sunday Herald into the tabloid Sun-Herald . [7] [8]
Publication of The Sun ceased on 14 March 1988. [9] Some of its content, and sponsorship of the Sydney City to Surf footrace, was continued in The Sun-Herald.
