Chains of command

Updated July 23, 2013
Bill Doskoch's efforts to name editor-in-chiefs at the Star, Globe, Sun and Post in recent years gave us an idea - all Toronto Sun chiefs since Day One in chronological order.

The Sun's history is a breeze compared to the much older Toronto Star and Globe and Mail, so we'll give it a try, with much help needed from current and former Sun staffers.

Completed: Editorial page editors (2007-present); Travel editors (1971-present);

For missing names, names that are not in chronological order or corrections, please update us.

A work in progress.
