About us

The News Sun is the daily newspaper serving Noble and LaGrange counties in northeast Indiana. It traces its history back to the spring of 1859 or 1860 in Kendallville when Judson Palmiter began publication of the Noble County Journal, renamed the Kendallville Standard in 1870. In 1877, Dr. A.S. Parker launched a competitor to the Standard called the Weekly News. The two weeklies coexisted until 1898 when the publishers of the Standard hit the streets of Kendallville with the Daily Sun. Eight years later, in 1906, the Weekly News followed suit and began publication of the Daily News.

Daily competition existed in Kendallville for only five years. On Aug. 7, 1911, the Daily News and Daily Sun were consolidated into the Kendallville News-Sun. In 1965, the publishing company converted its letterpress printing operation to the offset process with the purchase of a four-unit press and folder. It was the third daily newspaper in Indiana to convert to the cold-type process. On July 2, 1984, with a redesign of the newspaper, the city name was dropped from the page one flag of The News Sun, reflecting the newspaper’s growing circulation area. On March 12, 2000, the newspaper added its Sunday edition. On April 6, 2009, it converted to a morning newspaper seven days a week.
