Our Story

The Wi******er Sun was first published Nov. 1, 1878, as The Semi-Weekly Sun. It later became known as the Wi******er News, the first daily newspaper in the community, on Oct. 12, 1908.

In 1912, The News changed its name to The Sun. In 1924, it moved to its present location at Wall Street and Cleveland Avenue.

The Tatman family of Connersville, Indiana, acquired The Sun in 1936. James Tatman served as publisher until his death in 1988. The Tatman family continued to publish The Sun until selling the newspaper to Schurz Communications Aug. 2, 2005.Boone Newspapers, Inc. took ownership at the start of 2016.

The Sun is the newspaper of record for Clark County and also offers commercial printing on their Atlas web press. The newspaper’s website, www.winchestersun.com, serves online readers who may wish to keep up with Wi******er and Clark County.
