The News-Sun

The News Sun is a daily newspaper based in Kendallville, Indiana, and serves as the main publication for KPC Media Group.

Originally known as the Kendallville News-Sun before July 1984, it evolved from the merging of the Daily News and Daily Sun newspapers in 1911, along with a series of weekly newspapers that came before them.
