The San Bernardino Sun was first printed in 1894. Times Mirror, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, bought the paper in 1964, but was ordered to sell it due to antitrust concerns. Gannett purchased the paper in 1968. MediaNews Group took control of the paper from Gannett in 1999.[2] This made the Sun sister newspaper to the Times' rival, the Los Angeles Daily News. The San Bernardino Sun is a member of the Southern California News Group.[3]
