This is exciting media news. Conrad Black and Pals Plan to Launch The New York Sun Conrad Black, the owner of the Chicago Sun-Times and the Jerusalem Post, finally has at least a piece of a New York newspaper. A group of investors including Mr. Black intends to spend up to $15 million to launch a new daily newspaper expected to appear sometime early next year, a source familiar with the venture told Off the Record. The paper, likely to be called The New York Sun, will be edited by former Forward editor in chief Seth Lipsky along with his protégé, Ira Stoll, the editor of Smartertimes.com, a Web site known for its critiques of The New York Times. For more than a year, Mr. Stoll has been promising that Smartertimes.com would one day lead to the creation of "a new newspaper that would offer an alternative to the dominant daily." The Sun, which will appear five days a week, is expected to cover city news but also embody the same neoconservative values that shaped Mr. Stoll’s attacks on The Times as well as The Forward under Mr. Lipsky, sources said. newyorkobserver.com
