Notable articles
The Sun first became famous for its central role in the great moon vertigo of 1835 . Today she is well known for the 1897 editorial “ Is There a Santa Claus? “(Mostly mentioned in English-speaking countries as “ Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus ” ), written by Francis Pharcellus Church .
John B. Bogart, local editor for the Sun between 1873 and 1890, formulated what is perhaps the most cited definition of journalistic endeavor: “When a dog bites a man, it is not news because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news ” . (This quote is often attributed to Charles Anderson Dana , Sun editor and partner between 1868 and 1897). In 1947-48, the Sun characterized “Crime on the Waterfront” in a seminal series of articles by Malcolm Johnson , which won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reports. The series served as the basis for the 1954 film On the Waterfront .
