It doesn't surprise me that business competitors take potshots at each other.
I'm curious about the Sun's claim of being fifth largest in the state. This is from several years ago but the Sun would have to almost triple its stated figures to be fifth. St. Petersburg Times – 239,684 Orlando Sentinel – 172,271 The Miami Herald – 151,612 South Florida Sun Sentinel – 149,892 The Tampa Tribune – 145,045 The Florida Times-Union – 108,926 The Palm Beach Post – 100,830 Sarasota Herald-Tribune – 66,352 The News-Journal – 63,902 Florida Today – 60,165 Other sites list the top 10 in order but don't provide circulation figures. This site has it at #17 and this one has it at #10 |

Both numbers and conclusions can be correct. One is reporting the monthly circulation, the other the circulation for a year. The "Happy Paper" is good for what it is - local news (mostly good), human interest stories, local sports, open house information, and coupons for local restaurants and golf courses. It is not the New York Times, but it is worth the price of a subscription.

However , given that their primary focus seems to be on The Developer , issues within this community and The Daily Sun it seems to be unprofessional that they do not disclose who they are as any print publication would . Their primary MO is to stir things up such that many of their " readers " get online and fight with one another . So what are they hiding ? |

Hope they sort this out soon, regarding circulation.
I haven't been able to sleep for weeks worrying about it! |

It is well known newspapers across the United States are “Struggling”. Small papers have closed, consolidated or reduced publishing days. Even large well known papers are having circulation and “cost” issues. Younger Americans have gone digital. We are “Old school” and enjoy reading The Daily Sun in print as we nurse a couple cups of coffee and eat our yogurt. We get digital news from several sources including our former hometown newspaper but nothing in our opinion beats a cup of coffee and the local newspaper in print.

The Sun
Mary and I are thankful that we didn't have to worry about the circulation on the sun on Thanksgiving.

I enjoy reading my newspaper in the morning. For years I’ve read the morning paper at night when I got home from work. The first thing I look for in the morning is my paper and my cup of coffee. That’s the reward for working all those years. I save enough on the coupons in stores and of dinner specials too easily offset the price of the newspaper

The New York Times did a piece on the Sun’s rising circulation a few months back:
Print Is Dead? Not Here - The New York Times I think I believe them a little more than villages online news and their repeated pot shots at the Sun. |
