We thought we would stand the newspaper industry on its head.

Alameda Sun publisher Dennis Evanosky looks with wonder at the six boxes with some 1,200 newspapers that the post office delivered to the same address last Friday. A subscriber called the Sun office to say that she had all these newspapers on her front porch.

Given the historic events of the early part of 2020, the Class of 2020 will forever hold a special place in history as class that had their graduation ceremonies deferred, delayed or denied.

Publishers and Staff of the Alameda Sun would like to thank our family of advertisers, subscribers and donors for keeping the Sun shining.

Business owners and organizations, take note. There are some myths going around in Alameda about the Alameda Sun. That it’s the place where anyone from anywhere can just send in notices of events, and — at no cost to anyone — people all over town read about them.

Each Thursday, the Alameda Sun distributes 23,500 copies of this newspaper throughout Alameda. The Sun prides itself in being a locally owned newspaper that covers nothing but Alameda.

I just can’t quite resist continuing to print thank yous to our treasured subscribers and supporters this week. The outpouring of renewals and new subscriptions along with generous contributions to the Alameda Sun has now topped $8,000.
