The Sun Page 3

The Sun's Page 3 topless pictures appear to be on their way out...


















The article here is about the sun appearing to ease on the page 3 nudity pictures of models. There was a picture of Kim Kardashian one week which was her nude but with her nipples concealed. Because there has been serious protests about the explicit images in the paper the newspaper set out to have a fully clothed model on as their page model. The Sun has recently replaced most of their nude models with other celebs such as pictures of Cheryl Cole and Mariah Carey. Most Campaigners had been pressing for such papers and magazines to be taken out of the view of children, as they are easily accessed in stores or little corner shops.
Key Points:
·         Lucy Holmes and her No More Page 3 colleagues have clearly had an effect. Their petition urging Sun editor David Dinsmore to "take the bare boobs out of The Sun" has now attracted 203,000 signatures.
·         The Sun's "Get Kids Reading" campaign is part of a wider "Read On, Get On" campaign with Save the Children that calls on the government, local organisations and parents to tackle illiteracy. It aims to raise literacy levels so that every child born this year can read well by the time they are 11 in 2025.
·         According to a report on behalf of Save the Children, Britain currently has one of the worst literacy records in Europe, with one in six adults not being able to read to the standard set for 11-year olds.
My opinion about the article is that it the positives and negatives about the The Sun. This is because the article talks about how they have a campaign to help children but they also show the bad side of the paper as young children have easy access to nude pictures of women.
