Seth Lipsky (born 1946) is the founder and editor of the New York Sun, an independent conservative daily in New York City that ceased its print edition on September 30, 2008. Lipsky counts Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, Ariel Sharon, and Milton Friedman among his intellectual and ideological heroes.[1] He has a long history of working in the newspaper business, including "a nearly 20-year-long career" at the Wall Street Journal[2] that included Asia and Belgium.
Lipsky also founded and was editor[3] of The Forward, an English-language successor to a Yiddish-language longtime newspaper of the same name.[4]
He has also written several invited articles and guest opinions for The New York Times, and is the author of six books.[5][6]
The Forward .. Yiddish Forverts, Seth Lipsky, its founding editor, was an unlikely candidate for the venture.
