''The Vancouver Sun'' is a daily newspaper first published in the Canadian province of British Columbia on February 12, 1912. The paper is currently published by the Pacific Newspaper Group, a division of Postmedia Network. It is published six days a week, Monday to Saturday. Although its staff of reporters has shrunken considerably in recent years, the ''Sun'' still has the largest newsroom in Vancouver. The ''Sun'' is a broadsheet newspaper and was not originally related to the Sun Media chain and its tabloid ''Sun'' papers in Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton. However, Sun Media was acquired by Postmedia in 2015, making the ''Vancouver Sun'' and the tabloid ''Sun'' papers part of the same company.〔http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/postmedia-sun-media-deal-officially-closes/article23895298/〕 == History == When the ''Sun'' began operation, it was published at 125 West Pender Street, just around the corner from ''The Province'', its rival at the time. In 1924, the Sun bought the ''Vancouver World'' newspaper, which had been in financial difficulty for some time. In March 1937, a fire destroyed the ''Suns business and editorial offices. The only casualty was the janitor, who suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation. The ''Sun'' promptly moved across the street into the World Building, where the ''World'' had been published. The building was accordingly renamed the Sun Tower. In 1958, the ''Sun'' and the ''Province'' joined to create the ''Pacific Press'' in response to the rising costs of producing newspapers. First the papers merged their mechanical and financial departments, then they both moved into the Pacific Press Building on December 27, 1965. The paper moved to Granville Square in 1997. According to a 2010 NADbank survey, the ''Sun'' In May 2009, the newspaper laid off long-time editorial cartoonist Roy Peterson who had been drawing for the paper since 1962. In October 2011, Patricia Graham, the editor in chief, was appointed vice-president, Digital for Pacific Newspaper Group. The ''Vancouver Sun'' website has more than 30 million page views monthly. In December 2011, after much research on the demographics of the greater Vancouver area, the newspaper launched a Chinese-language version ''Taiyangbao''〔() 〕〔http://onespot.wsj.com/business/2011/12/10/c995d/vancouver-suns-chinese-language-website〕 with original Chinese language content. According to an article broadcast on China Now on China Radio International (December 2011), the key to success was not necessarily to "translate" its English-language version into Chinese. 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「The Vancouver Sun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
