After a six-and-a-half-year run, the New York Sun will cease publication. The September 30th issue will be the struggling daily’s last.
In remarks to the paper’s staff, the Sun’s Editor, Seth Lipsky praised the publication’s employees, readers and investors.
“They invested in the ideal of the scoop, the notion that news is the spirit of democracy, and in the principles for which we have stood in our editorial pages — limited and honest government, equality under our Constitution and the law, free markets, sound money, and a strong foreign policy in support of freedom and democracy,” Lipsky wrote of the paper’s backers. “They liked the way the Sun reflected the dynamism of our city and spoke for its interests in the national debate.”
Lipsky's words beautifully sum up what we all lose when a newspaper folds. As the poet John Donne wrote:
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind,

and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
