Sun.Star
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sun.Star (also written Sun Star) is a major English-language newspaper in the Philippines. The newspaper is based in Cebu City and is the only major national Philippine newspaper not to be based in Metro Manila.
While the newspaper's main base is Cebu City, the Sun.Star also has various editions for different parts of the Philippines, each with content relevant to the area where the Sun.Star edition in question is issued. Other than the main Metro Cebu edition, the Sun.Star has editions for three levels of Philippine administrative groupings:
- City editions, issued in Bacolod City, Baguio City, Cagayan de Oro City, Davao City, Dumaguete City, General Santos City (Mondays only), Iloilo City and Zamboanga City
- Provincial editions, issued for residents in Pampanga and Pangasinan. However, city editions may also carry certain province-related content for the provinces where they are located.
- Regional editions, issued for residents in Metro Cebu and Metro Manila. The Metro Cebu edition may carry content relevant to the province of Cebu. The General Santos edition is released as the SOCCSKSARGEN edition on all days that it is issued except Monday.
All editions also carry national content, which is usually the same across all newspaper editions.
The Sun.Star is issued as a tabloid newspaper in Bacolod, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Dumaguete, General Santos (as the SOCCSKSARGEN edition), Iloilo, Metro Cebu and Pampanga. It is an exclusively online newspaper for residents of Metro Manila, Pangasinan and Zamboanga City. The General Santos edition of the Sun.Star is issued as a broadsheet on Mondays.
[edit] Publication frequency
The Sun.Star is issued (or updated, for online editions) on various levels of frequency, depending on the locality. It may be released on the following schedules:
- Daily, for residents of Bacolod City, Baguio City, Cagayan de Oro City, Davao City, Iloilo City, Metro Cebu, Metro Manila, Pampanga, Pangasinan and Zamboanga City
