The ''Las Vegas Sun'' is a newspaper and one of the Las Vegas Valley's two daily newspapers. It is owned by the Greenspun family and is affiliated with Greenspun Media Group. The paper published afternoons on weekdays from 1990 to 2005. The paper is now included as a section inside the pages of ''Las Vegas Review-Journal'' but continues operating exclusively on its website. Publisher and president Brian Greenspun, former publisher Hank Greenspun's son, was a college roommate of President Bill Clinton. Greenspun welcomed Clinton, while president, as a house guest during a Clinton fundraising trip to southern Nevada. ==History== The ''Las Vegas Sun'' was first published on May 21, 1950, by Hank Greenspun, who served as its editor until his death. Hank acquired the ''Las Vegas Free Press'' and two weeks later renamed it to the ''Las Vegas Sun''. From its founding the paper was published in the mornings. Starting in 1989, after it signed a Joint Operating Agreement with the ''Las Vegas Review-Journal'', the paper switched to publishing in the afternoon.〔(''Los Angeles Times'', "New Era for Two Warring Vegas Papers," 10 September 1989 )〕 On April 20, 2009, the ''Las Vegas Sun'' was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of the high death rate of construction workers on the Las Vegas Strip amid lax enforcement of regulations. The Pulitzer Prize committee noted that the ''Sun''s coverage led to changes in government policy and improved safety conditions. Alexandra Berzon was the primary author for the 4 part series.〔 Berzon promptly left the paper upon her win, as did health reporter and Pulitzer finalist Marshall Allen in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Las Vegas Sun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
