Lowell Sun

Lowell Sun is a daily newspaper in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.

The newspaper is published seven days a week.

The Sun was founded as a weekly in 1878 by print shop owners and brothers John and Daniel Harrington. In its earliest years, The Sun provided the growing Irish Catholic population a voice in a mill city that was run by Protestant factory owners. Over the years, the paper outlasted its competitors to become the only major newspaper in Lowell, converting to a daily in 1892 and buying out its last competitor daily, the Courier-Citizen, in 1941. The paper remained in the hands of John Harrington's descendants -- Thomas F. Costello, his sons John H. and Clement C. Costello, and grandson John H. Costello Jr. -- until it was purchased August 1, 1997, by MediaNews Group.

Circulation: 42,899 copies
