"Las Cruces Sun-News", founded in 1881, is a daily newspaper published in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

History

The "Sun-News" started in 1881 as the "Rio Grande Republican" and went through several mergers to become the "Las Cruces Daily News" in 1934. Another daily, the "Las Cruces Sun", started publication in 1937 and bought the "Daily News" in 1939 to form the "Las Cruces Sun-New". The paper changed hands several times, most recently being bought by Gannett. [cite conference
