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. The paper is now part of the Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership, a joint venture formed in 2003 between MediaNews Group and Gannett, with MediaNews Group the managing partner.
