the deal includes the toronto sun, as well as sun dailies in ottawa, winnipeg, calgary and edmonton, the free 24 hours daily newspapers in toronto and vancouver, and the london free press .
on 14 february 1978, the company entered into a partnership agreement with edmonton sun publishing ltd to publish its second tabloid, the edmonton sun, its first edition appearing on 2 april 1978. in 1981 the edmonton sun became a wholly owned operation with the acquisition of all outstanding shares of edmonton sun publishing ltd. the calgary albertan, acquired on 31 july 1980 for $ 1. 3 million, was subsequently transformed into the company' s third daily tabloid, the calgary sun - first edition 3 august 1980 .
in july 2013, sun media corp. announced it was slashing 360 jobs and shutting down 11 publications across the country. at the time, it said it needed to invest more heavily in digital news to lure in younger readers .

“we are excited to be the custodians of many of canada’s best known and trusted media brands, now and in the future. ”
but he pointed to his purchase of mainetoday media in 2015, when the company retained 98 percent of its employees during the sale .
more than 2, 500 sun media employees now work under new ownership, though some jobs are in jeopardy. postmedia president and ceo paul godfrey expects the deal to yield efficiencies through combined finance, human resources, it and production departments .
costello and brower said sun media was not shopping around for a buyer but saw the opportunity after years of working together on projects, including a printing contract with the bangor daily news, which shut down its hampden printing plant in 2013 .

“i don’t believe in cut and slash, ” brower said. “i think that’s one of the reasons why the costellos were looking at an organization like ours to lead (sun media group) forward. … we’re not going to do anything to disrupt the autonomy. ”
the eisendrath group’s deal preserves two independent newspaper voices in chicago, one of the last two - newspaper towns in america. tronc had vowed to operate the tribune and sun - times as independent titles, though media observers had expressed skepticism over how long that might last .
eisendrath’s group submitted a bid for the paper last month, after the justice department required the sun - times to publish an advertisement seeking other buyers for the sun - times, reader and other wrapports assets, including the straight dope website .
