The Sun (a.k.a. the “old Currant Bun”) is the most popular tabloid newspaper in this country, and it is proud to consider itself the voice of the ‘common man’. Indeed, it boasts of being “Britain’s most influential newspaper”. It’s reporting style is cheeky, cheerful, and notoriously short on news. Even more notoriously, the third page always boasts a pretty young lady, in her late teens or early twenties, baring her breasts for the delectation of the reader. I don’t have the statistics, but I presume the readership is largely male. Historically I’ve never thought much of The Sun, but I did read it daily in the .  Read the complete review

3 years ago I would never have even picked up a copy of the Sun. Tabloid trash, I would have screamed! I used to digest broadsheets such as the Times, the Guardian AND the Independent as I commuted to school on 2 trains, and it was thoroughly recommended to read broadsheets as part of my Business A-level. However one sweet day I got my high grades and my university place, and I suddenly got bored of the heavy monotonous tone of news reportage that I found with my regular, The Times. And one day I picked up a copy of the Sun and have never gone back. So why did I do it? Well the primary reason was that the Sun was 30p and the Times 35p and that day I ...  Read the complete review

I have been buying The Sun newspaper every day before work for the last 7 years and I am a big fan. I have seen alot of negative reviews about The Sun, saying its very biased and theres too much nudity and poor 'cheesy' headlines. The newspaper may be for a certain audience but I believe theres around 7 million people that read The Sun, surely there is something good about it. Isnt a newspaper about giving your opinion whether the views do favour certain people or not? The nudity issue, everybody knows about Page 3 and peopel dont have to look at it. The paper may be aimed more at males, i can see that, page 3, sexy celebs and the sports coverage - which is fantastic. I .  Read the complete review

Since the days when town criers would spread news of local happenings, society has had an unquenchable thirst for news. Over the years, the style and methods of spreading this news has changed and progressed dramatically and Inevitably, it wasn't long before it morphed into a business venture. Newspapers come in one of two styles...broadsheets and tabloids. The broadsheets are typically considered to be the "respectable" papers, the ones that deliver real news, whilst the tabloids traditionally pander more to the common mans need of a little entertainment. Whether these generalisations are fair is really in the eye of the reader, but ...  Read the complete review

When searching for The Sun so I could do a review on it I was amused and baffled to see it under 'newspapers'. Let's get this clear. The Sun isn't a newspaper. When was the last time something happened in the world, be it a political scandal, terrorist threat, or environmental disaster, where any right minded person has gone 'oh, I want to know more about that. Must pick up The Sun tomorrow.'. No sir! The Sun is categorised into the following: 'I'm not really interested in the news, but I do like a light hearted and entertaining look at the world'. 'It's something to read whilst I eat my breakfast'. Lots of people I know who read The Sun ...  Read the complete review
