Editor's note: Here's why you didn't get a newspaper today

Tuesday’s Sun-Times was not printed due to issues at our vendor’s printing facility. We’ve made the e-paper available for free today. Tuesday’s paper will be delivered tomorrow along with Wednesday’s edition.

The Sun-Times front page from Tuesday, July 16

Dear readers,

The Chicago Sun-Times newspaper wasn’t printed or delivered Tuesday due to unexpected issues with the printing presses at our vendor, Chicago Tribune Company, which also prints the Tribune, the Daily Herald, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and other papers.

This means our home delivery subscribers didn’t receive the newspaper and it was also unavailable at any newsstands.

We’re disappointed that this happened, and I want to apologize to you, our readers. Whether you get the newspaper delivered or pick it up on the newsstands, we know you count on getting the newspaper every morning — and we pride ourselves on being there for you daily.

This is the first time the newsroom can remember the newspaper not being printed and delivered on the intended day.

Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s newspapers will be delivered to home delivery subscribers Wednesday, and we made the digital version of Tuesday’s paper, the e-paper, free for everyone at suntimes.com. Also, our Taste section this week will run in Thursday’s papers instead of Wednesday.

Tuesday’s paper includes dispatches from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where Donald Trump appeared for the first time since the assassination attempt, as well as reports on the severe storms that tore through the Chicago area Monday night. It also includes coverage of Major League Baseball’s All-Star game and a preview of this weekend’s Pitchfork music fest, among a variety of other coverage.

Once again, we are sorry for the delay in getting you Tuesday’s paper. As always, thanks for reading and for supporting the Sun-Times!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Kho
Sun-Times executive editor
