tells us:
"The Sun is a daily national
tabloid newspaper published in the United Kingdom. Regionalised editions are
published in Glasgow (The Scottish Sun) and Dublin (The Irish Sun). It is
published by the News Group Newspapers division of News International, itself a
wholly owned subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
The Sun has the tenth-largest
circulation of any newspaper in the world and the largest circulation of any
daily newspaper in the United Kingdom. It had an average daily circulation of
2,614,725 copies in March 2012. Between July and December 2010 it had an average
daily readership of approximately 7.6 million, of whom approximately 2.65
million were in the ABC1 demographic and 4.9 million in the C2DE
demographic.
The Sun has been involved in a
number of controversies in its history, including its coverage of the
Hillsborough football stadium disaster, falsely accusing Elton John of having
had sexual relationships with rent boys, and its attitude towards mental health
issues and homosexuality.
On 17 February 2012, Rupert Murdoch
announced via an email to staff that The Sun on Sunday would launch "very soon".
The paper would employ a number of former News of the World journalists. The
first edition appeared on February 26, 2012."
