The Morning Sun is a newspaper published in Pittsburg, Kansas, United States.
It was a seven-day daily paper, but decreased to five print editions a week (Tuesday to Friday, and Sunday) as of April 2017.
The Morning Sun traces its origin to the Pittsburg Headlight, a weekly which began publication in 1885, under the ownership of brothers Millard Fillmore (M.F.)
(Montfort had acquired that publication around 1881, when it was called The People's Exponent (founded 1880), and had renamed it.)
[6][9] In 1915, Paul Jones founded the Pittsburg Sun, which was a morning paper.
He served as editor of both papers until his death in August 1966, and was soon after inducted into the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame.
[6] In 1994, Morris Communications announced plans to acquire Stauffer Communications, which by that time was operating 20 daily newspapers (including the Morning Sun) and eight weeklies, in addition to a number of television and radio stations.
