The Sun online

Similar in look and feel to the print edition of the magazine, The Sun’s online edition provides links to current and past issues. Issues dating back to 2000 have at least some of the stories available for view as active hyperlinks. Earlier issues include the detailed table of contents and the option to order the issue. In an interview with Michael Miner of the Chicago Reader, Sy Safransky explained that he intends to make all past issues available, but that the logistics had not yet been resolved.[2]

The Sun v. www.thesunmagazine.org

When asked about the trend of print media to go entirely electronic, Safransky says, “I’d no sooner abandon print than throw someone I love overboard in a storm-tossed sea.”[2]
