The Sun News is a daily newspaper published in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in the United States.

The Myrtle Beach News was founded as a weekly in 1935 by brothers-in-law C. L. Phillips and J. Clarence Macklen.

With the explosive growth that occurred in the next half century, as the Grand Strand became a major tourist and retirement area, the paper stepped up its publication schedule, becoming a full-fledged daily by 1977.

[3] Along with the rest of the State Record Company, it was acquired by the Knight Ridder newspaper chain in 1986.

McClatchy became The Sun News’ parent company when it purchased Knight Ridder in June 2006.
