Coverage[edit]
The Economist & Sun is a local newspaper: it covers local news and sports, and carried real estate and classified advertising.[3]
History[edit]
In 1856, David Reesor founded the Markham Economist. Reesor sold the paper to his brother-in-law Henry Ryan Corson, who became the paper's second publisher in 1860.[4]
From 1881 to the amalgamation of the companies, the Economist's rival was the Markham Sun. The Sun was bought by the Economist in 1915, creating the Economist & Sun. Corson's son Robert J. Corson was publisher of the new paper until his death in 1930.[4] Metroland Media Group now owns the company.[2]
