Copley Press, which has been trying to unload the Union-Tribune since July, has put the small bi-weekly Borrego Sun newspaper of Borrego Springs up for sale, according to the Editor & Publisher trade paper. Copley has been operating the newspaper for 50 years. Earlier, the company jettisoned La Casa del Zorro, the Borrego Springs resort that was part of company lore, and a money loser that had sentimental value for the late Helen Copley and her son David. Other company assets have been sold. The announcement that the Sun is for sale is a surprise; people have assumed all along that it was part of the deal for the Union-Tribune. It is a miniscule part of the business.
