Hollywood Sun-Tattler
The Hollywood Sun-Tattler was a daily newspaper serving Hollywood and southern Broward County, Florida.
History
In 1932, the South Broward Tattler newspaper was launched. In 1935, the Hollywood Sun was established as a competing weekly. In 1942, it was combined with the South Broward Tattler and the Hollywood News (established in 1924), adopting the Hollywood Sun-Tattler name that it would use for most of its history.[1] The first owner of the newspaper was Wallace Stevens, and the paper was acquired by the E. W. Scripps Company in 1965.[2] In 1989, it was purchased again and reverted to the Hollywood Sun name.[3][4][5][6][7]
In December 1991, the paper, which as of 1989 had had a circulation of 31,000, ceased operation.[8][9][10][11]
