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.

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.

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.

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
Historically the NOTW was not a sister Sunday paper for the Sun.If it had been it would have been called The Sunday Sun or the Sun on Sunday.
It was called the name it had carried for 168 years.The News of the World.

Don't be beguiled by simplicity. The editorial priorities of the News of the World were quite different to those of the Sun and those differences are absolutely crucial to the kind of impact the Sun on Sunday is likely to make in its target market.
On that point, "Gutter press" is simply a perjorative term for the market segment it occupied. It does not follow that two "gutter press" products made by the same company are essentially the same product.

And we have to hope that the authorities make sure that he does not get away with it.

With repect, you know nothing at all about my experience or skills.
In mine, and many other peoples opinions, it's quite obvious that the Sun will just replace the news of the world.
