“It Shines For All” (New York Sun)
The New York Sun newspaper was published from 1833-1952. A new newspaper began in 2002 using the same name and famous slogan: "It Shines For All."
The slogan was supposedly first used in the 1830s and taken from a tavern. From 1917-1952, the Sun was published on Chambers Street, opposite city hall. A clock at the corner of Broadway and Chambers still bears the Sun name and slogan.

Press releases insist that the new Sun's distinctive mission is to give "a priority focus to the city it serves," and this turns out to be the larger significance of the name. While the masthead reaffirms the traditional motto, "it shines for all" (which the original editor had appropriated from a much older tavern sign from across the East River), emphasizing the democratic function of the newspaper as a source of illumination for the masses, advertisements for the new Sun opt for a more Copernican gloss.
