==History==
According to the Historic Downtown Paducah special section of the ''Sun'' published January 8, 2003, the newspaper traces it roots to 1896, when a group of investors headed by William F. Paxton launched ''The Evening Sun'' by buying the assets of the failing ''Paducah Standard'' at 214 Broadway. The cost was $8,900, and the men started with $10,000 capital. The newspaper did not make a profit until 1918. In 1929, Paxton's son, Edwin J. Paxton, who had taken over as editor, bought out the rival ''News-Democrat''. After the merger, the newspaper became ''The Sun-Democrat'', and operations were moved to the current location at 408 Kentucky Avenue in 1934. The name changed to The Paducah Sun in 1978 at the request of Jack Paxton, editor at the time and grandson of Edwin J. Paxton.
In April 2008, ''The Paducah Sun'' printed the first newspapers on its new press. Completed in December 2007, the new building is a $10.7 million facility in downtown Paducah. It is a high-tech production building housing the new press with the entire southwest wall made of glass. The paper prints around midnight and is viewable to passersby.〔http://apexchange.typepad.com/industry_news/2008/04/paducah-sun-unv.html〕
