I've worked in Newspaper/Magazine Wholesaling since 1988, the traditional format Newspaper/Magazine is pretty much extinct. Publishers have to make up that revenue loss in the areas that are now active.
They could do that, and some will pay.

But Sun readership ( please shout if I have got it wrong) is not exactly people who enjoy paying for something, they can get free elsewhere online.

So I see the sun failing. You can see page 3 anywhere (and no, i don't go looking, did that when younger for novelty, got boring after awhile )

There news content doesn't seem to be great (not read it in a few decades, perhaps it has become more broadsheet?)

Sport may be good (still not read it), but you can get that anywhere. Rumours are dime a dozen
