IN the past I have been VERY critical of the Daily Sun. Between it's blatant politcal leanings, and being little more than a de facto marketing arm for "The Developer" ... IMO it was a joke in terms of being a "news" paper
HOWEVER ..... with the change of ownership / publisher I feel that it has vastly improved. They have started to pick up AP articles that offer more in depth information on topical subjects and I like the new lay out format.
Yes it does have a LARGE amount of ads. That is a function of it's readership demographics (that still tend to read a daily publication) and that it's overwhelming circulation numbers are from subscriptions and not "daily sales" ( coin operated boxes and sales in retail locations). The % of circulation that is from "papers in the driveway" is HIGHLY prized in the newspaper ad sales world.
Yes, it does still have a strong political basis, which is also a demographic factor.
But overall .... IMO a much much better paper than before.
