I categorize the Daily Sun as an external house organ.

We get the Daily Sun, Orlando Sentinel and Wall street Journal. The individual that contracted to deliver the Orlando Sentinel also delivers the Wall Street journal. the Wall Street journal has to be delivered by 7:00 AM. The previous contractor for the Orlando Sentinel had the Wall Street Journal to me by 4:00AM. I know because I sometime greeted her at the bottom of my driveway . The Sentinel has a new contractor and he often just makes the 7:00 AM deadline.
The Daily Sun and Orlando Sentinel are for my wife as it fits her needs. The Daily Sun during the week is in my driveway no later than 4:30 AM and often before that..... a little later on Saturday and Sundays |

I like the comics and the puzzles
Only newspaper in the South that has more Big Ten than SEC coverage in the sports section |

Probably also the only newspaper in the South that has more subscribers who are Big Ten fans than SEC fans.

If it was a real paper it would probably cost real money. You get what you pay for.

Don't want to get in the middle over this tired debate of whether the newspaper is a newspaper, but wanted to point out the Saturday's issue of the Sun had a big thing about the attacks. Did everyone here miss that?
It was right on the front page! And coverage has continued in the days after, just not right out front. Just confused as to why this is in question. |

I agree. The attacks in Paris were well covered. I enjoy the paper and the info on local happenings, puzzles, comics and TV stuff. I like the sports. I get the national news on my iPad from lots of sources and instant notifications from all the major news sources. The Daily Sun has all of the info about local restaurants, clubs and I often see my friends in the paper. It is very inexpensive. It should pay for itself with coupons and specials. It fills a niche.

They provide villages news, not anything of importance or substance

Because of the very high level of discretionary income in The Villages the advertising revenue this paper receives drives the news content. Few papers in the entire country can compare, most are just barely hanging on. Great business model.

Not anywhere near where I shop, unfortunately. Plus if I'm not going to read most of it, subscribing to it would be a waste of trees.

There's a bunch of pages. It's much larger than my hometown paper, and the news section is pretty robust most days. Is this perceived lack of news in the Sun because they aren't printing the police blotter and DUIs the front page every day? I'm sorry, but that's not what interests me in a newspaper. |

Is the Daily Sun a real newspaper.? Yes! , it is printed on paper with ink and it gives me news. It is delivered to my driveway early each morning and stops and starts with no problem. Does the Daily Sun report every event in the world in a timely manner?... No. Does the Daily Sun give me updated news about our area? Yes! There are plenty of sources to get up to date world news but The Daily Sun is the only place that I can depend on to tell me what is going on here in The Villages. I guess it's all about expectations and The Daily Sun meets my expectations for that news source.

Kudos to The Daily Sun today! They did a much more thorough job of covering the French news and it's international implications. Thanks.
