Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
Maggy J, As l am not sitting at the computer all day, l was watching Sky news to see what crap was going on in this country, like finding that l will not get a pay rise for the next TWO years, that means four years without a rise and prices all going up.
As soon as l saw about the S.O.S (could be another sinking newspaper), l thought that l would let everyone know.

Personally I always thought the Sun and the NotW were the same paper with just a different title :/

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
Sun on Sunday
Quote:
RUPERT Murdoch revealed yesterday that a Sunday edition of The Sun will be launched "very soon".
He made the announcement while pledging support for Britain's No1 newspaper.
The News Corporation chief told The Sun's staff the paper is "a part of me" and one of his proudest achievements.
Mr Murdoch visited News International's HQ in Wapping, East London, to show his confidence in the title.

Not that hard to take a quick look through the Current Affairs forum or do a search to check that you are not duplicating news threads.

Yes, but The Sunday Times was once a independent newspaper, but it is now a sunday edition of The Times, but with its own staff, the same used to apply to the the NOTW and The Sun
Maybe they should call they new Sunday Newspaper "Today" insted of "The Sun on Sunday"

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
If the Sunday Times has its own staff, its own production schedule and its own editor, in what sense is it simply a seventh daily edition of the Times?
I'll answer it for you: it isn't. And you don't know what you're talking about.

They share the same editorial policy, board of directors and style, you can also jointly subscribe to them as well.
It is clear that they are closely linked, more so than The Guardian and
The Observer!

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
They have the same parent company and the same target market. They are not the same product.

You are right about the fact they are not the same product, but they are largely are the same with the same board of directors and style of content, along with othe rlinks, but they do have the diffrent editorial teams!

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
In which case, the Sunday Times is not simply an edition of The Times published on a Sunday.

I know it had different staff, but I think you are missing my point. The Sun is a Monday to Saturday gutter press tabloid. The News of the World was News International's Sunday edition gutter press tabloid. All the Sunday edition of the Sun will be doing is filling that void, with a similar stayle paper.
