The Calgary Sun is a daily newspaper published in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is owned by Postmedia. First published in 1980, the tabloid-format daily replaced the long-running tabloid-size newspaper The Albertan soon after it was acquired by the publishers of the Toronto Sun. The newspaper, like most of those in the Canadian "Sun" chain, is known for short, snappy news stories aimed primarily at working-class readers. The Calgary Sun's layout is based somewhat upon that of British tabloids. The newspaper that would become the Calgary Sun was first published in 1886 as the Calgary Tribune. Prior to its 1980 acquisition by Sun Media, it was published under the following titles: 1886-1895: Calgary Tribune 1895-1899: Alberta Tribune 1899: Albertan 1899-1902: Albertan and Alberta Tribune 1902-1920: Morning Albertan and Weekly Albertan 1920-1924: Morning Albertan and Western Farmer and Weekly Albertan 1924-1927: Calgary Albertan and Western Farmer and Weekly Albertan 1927-1936: Calgary Albertan 1936-1980: Albertan 1980: Calgary Albertan More information...
