Even if he did not know it, he created the culture that allowed it to happen, he would have not condoned it!

It is a great shame that the NOTW will be relaunched as The Sun on Sunday, better to shut it down, along with the Daily Mail, Star, Express and Sport!!!

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Not the Mirror as well?

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

I said this would happen as soon as the news of the world closed. After all, it was only Sunday's edition of the sun anyway.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

No it wasn't.It was at one point a truly independent paper established in 1843.It was under Rupert Murdoch's ownership than it became a toilet rag.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

That may be so Maggy. But it was still used as the Sunday's edition of the Sun, with the same gutter press style. After all their main competition is the Mirror, which does have a Sunday edition.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

It really wasn't. It had its own staff, from top to bottom, for starters. The News of the Screws had its own editorial agenda and also, the production of a weekly newspaper is an entirely different process to that of a daily.

It was owned by the same parent company, but then the Times is too.

If "The Sun on Sunday" is simply a seventh daily edition of the Sun, then it will be quite a different publication to the Screws. However, I think it more likely that Murdoch is simply trying to re-launch the Screws.

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.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

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

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

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.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

Its the company you work for says you don't get a rise so go complain to them, I get a feeling your good at it :)

Sorry Maggy but this hast to be pointed out, That's is like asking him to post a LINK which is something he never ever does :D

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
 

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"

Same here! :D

They were both as rubbish as each other!

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.
