This chapter describes stories covered by the City Sun in 1986. The editors of the paper de-emphasized reports about Mayor Koch, and invested more of their time on local activists’ involvement in Haiti and South Africa. Throughout the year, the City Sun kept readers focused on apartheid in South Africa and the regional war against the white minority regime by neighboring black states.
Keywords: City Sun, weekly newspapers, Ed Koch, Haiti, South Africa
