The Northern Virginia Sun was a newspaper published in Arlington, Virginia between 1935 and 1998. For most of this time, it was a 6-day-a-week broadsheet paper that emphasized local news. [1]

Its legacy can still be seen in the Arlington library system, which has maintained a collection of its "Then and Now" historical series of photos and short essays. [2]

The Sun's corporate descendant, Sun Gazette Newspapers, was sold to American Community Newspapers in 2005.

The paper drew national attention in the late 1970s when owner Herman Obermayer said the Sun would print the name of accusers in rape cases that came to trial, out of a sense of "fairness" between the two sides.[1]
