Hollywood Sun-Tattler
The Hollywood Sun-Tattler was a daily newspaper serving Hollywood and southern Broward County, Florida.
History[edit]
The Hollywood Sun-Tattler's story began with the 1932 publication of its predecessor, the South Broward Tattler. In 1935 the Hollywood Sun was established as a competing weekly. In 1942 it was combined with the South Broward Tattler and the Hollywood News (established in 1924), whereupon it adopted the Hollywood Sun-Tattler name it would use for most of its history.[1] The first owner of the publication was Wallace Stevens, who owned until its acquisition by the E. W. Scripps Company in 1965.[2] In 1989 it was purchased again and reverted to the Hollywood Sun name used by the original predecessor publication.[3][4][5][6][7]
In December 1991, the paper, which as of 1989 had had a circulation of 31,000, ceased operation.[8][9][10][11]
