It began publishing Sunday April 2, 1978 and shares many characteristics with Sun Media's other tabloids, including an emphasis on local news stories, its conservative editorial stance, extensive sports coverage, and a daily Sunshine Girl.
In 2014, Postmedia Network, the owner of the Edmonton Journal, purchased several newspapers and websites from Quebecor. This made it that both the Edmonton Sun and its main competitor, the Edmonton Journal were both owned by Postmedia.[2] In 2016 it was announced that the Journal and Sun's newsrooms and operations would be merged while both newspapers would continue to be published. This also led to the cuts of many staff between the two papers.[3]
