The Omaha Sun was a weekly newspaper that published from December 27, 1951, to August 31, 1983.[1] It was formerly owned by Berkshire Hathaway, a company headed by investor Warren Buffett.[2]
The staff of The Sun Newspapers of Omaha, Nebraska, was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Local Investigative Specialized Reporting in 1973 for uncovering the large financial resources of Boys Town, a Catholic youth care center and charity, leading to reforms in the organization's solicitation and use of funds contributed by the public.[2][3]
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought the newspapers in 1968. The company sold them in 1980 to Hyde Park Herald publisher Bruce Sagan. The Sun newspapers stopped publishing in 1983.[1]
