The Parsons Sun, originally named The Sun, is a semi-weekly newspaper serving Parsons, Kansas and the surrounding Southeast Kansas. It is the second-largest newspaper in Labette County, behind Farm Talk. It has a circulation of 2,632. The newspaper is published every Tuesday and Friday and is owned by Montgomery Media Group.
The Parsons Sun was founded in 1871 by Milton W. Reynolds and Leslie J. Perry, though the latter left after the first issue was published. Over the years the Parsons Sun has been owned and operated by several notable people, such as two Kansas governor's. The Parsons Sun has also survived intense competition over the years, most notably from The Parsons Daily Eclipse.
