IT’S BEEN TEN YEARS since the New York Sun went all-digital. Founders Seth Lipsky and Ira Stoll talk about it. Excerpt:

Catton: Seth, what do you see as the future of journalism?

Lipsky: I tend to be an optimist about journalism, but I do think the current political scene has brought journalism to a new low. The Sun endorsed Donald Trump. We endorsed Ted Cruz in the New York primary. When he lost, we endorsed Trump in the general election. We did it on Republican principles. We favored the pro-growth economic platform, we opposed the Iran deal, we favored a military buildup, and we favored moving the American embassy to Jerusalem. So we supported Trump.

When at three in the morning it became clear that he had won, we had an editorial up by breakfast saying, among other things, that the press was the big loser in the campaign. You remember, the New York Times had declared it was time to end objectivity, That was in a column by its press critic on the front page. It was endorsed by its editor. Nearly every paper in the country had miscalled the election, and the other news outlets, too.

Not all of them by the way. Bob Tyrrell of the American Spectator predicted this thing some 15 months out; it was just absolutely incredible. Much of the press has joined with the campaign of resistance to the decision the American states made in electing Trump, and it’s kind of a dark moment for the press.

Our approach to it has been to try to maintain this editorial voice that focuses on principles over politics and the deep Constitution, not just the deep state, but the deep Constitution, as I like to call it, and the principles that we believe in, which are equality under the law, free markets, free people. We’ve been working that. And I think people are responding.

I like The Sun, but then I had a piece — a Byron White reminiscence — in the very first issue. And here’s their pre-election editorial on Donald Trump’s Optimism.
