Europe Sun was conceived in 2002 as one node in a network built on a single idea: register a large number of newspaper-style domain names, model each on a print masthead for familiar readability, and pool one editorial resource across all of them. Domains were registered that year with sites rolled out from 2003, and this one went online in 2004 under the banner "Everything you expect, and a little more." The publisher is Midwest Radio Network, headquartered in Sydney with offices in the United Arab Emirates, and the affiliate supplying content is the Big News Network news agency in Dubai Media City. The network runs to roughly 135 sites, including Herald Globe, Mediterranean Times, Scandinavia Times, Belgium Sun, Germany Sun, Irish Sun, Poland Sun, Russia Herald, Scotland Star, Moscow Inquirer, Munich Metro and Paris Guardian. Today, Europe Sun is mainly focused on aggregated European and international headlines, business and market news, and syndicated wire copy, alongside a paid news release publishing service, from a publisher based in Sydney, Australia. One interesting fact: Its about page lists its bankers. Westpac Banking Corporation in Sydney appears alongside the publisher and affiliate details, which is a disclosure practice from an era of print mastheads and is not something modern news sites publish.
