Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how anyone can objectively claim that a particular newspaper is the "newspaper of record" in a given city or state. Many may consider it the "newspaper of record," but all that really means is that those people choose to get their information from that particular paper, as opposed to other papers (which is, of course, the case for ALL newspapers). I can see calling a newspaper the "newspaper of record" if it is the only newspaper in a city or state, but The Sun no longer is, as of 2005 when the Baltimore Examiner not only launched but did so with a larger circulation. Unless anyone disagrees, I suggest removing that phrase. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.220.212.188 (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm moving this page to The Baltimore Sun based on what seems to be the convention for other newspapers, such as The New York Times and The Washington Post. I think it seems that the policy in general is to name the newspaper by whatever is on the masthead. Is that right? --jacobolus (t) 04:03, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This should be The (Baltimore) Sun, as the official name of the paper is The Sun; the reference manual for newspaper names is the newspaper yearbook. The masthead simply reads "THE SUN" -- which is its official name. The actual name of the New York paper is The New York Times, and the Washington paper The Washington Post. But The Sun is merely The Sun (how it refers to itself in copy) and other papers refer to it in copy as The (Baltimore) Sun. The company that publishes The Sun is named The Baltimore Sun Company, which used to be called Sunpapers (because it published both The Sun and The Evening Sun). 68.55.44.146 03:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)myroundcar
Does anyone have any source for the statement that Hemingway wrote for the Sun? As far as I know, the only papers he worked for were the Kansis City Star and the Toronto Star. --Tms 20:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Image:The Baltimore Sun front page.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The TV programme The Wire's 5th season depicts a paper called The Baltimore Sun, and I'm not familiar with the history or current situation of the paper but it seems like some parallels exist (declining readership, shrink in newsroom etc). Wondering if anyone with more familiarity in the area thinks it relevant to add this info, in a "trivia" section or something similar? Headbeater (talk) 19:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
From the article: "Although there is now only a morning edition, for many years there were two distinct newspapers — The Sun in the morning and The Evening Sun in the afternoon — each with its own reporting and editorial staff." These were two separate papers sharing only ownership and advertising, so The Evening Sun should have its own article, right? Rivertorch (talk) 07:13, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Like many other newspapers, it would be interesting to have sources on the Baltimore Sun's positions and policies on the Mideast conflict, and whether people believe it is pro-Israel/pro-Palestinian. ADM (talk)
Some history would be interesting here. I cannot provide this information myself, but I was curious by a comment elsewhere that "the Evening Sun had a national reputation as a newspaper of record, much like the status often bestowed upon the New York Times and the Washington Post in more recent years." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tvon (talk • contribs) 16:17, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I get a message "cannot currently be accessed from your country" and the French version of this article speaks of a case at court on which the newspaper is awaiting a verdict without providing details or mentioning a ban in other countries.?

The graf on Elijah Cummings vs Trump is giving me a headache because it is terribly written, and I'm not convinced this was a controversy at all. The source is a single opinion column. The back and forth was mostly between Cummings and Trump, the paper just reported on it. I think it should be removed all together. Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 23:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
