truman Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's not a big surprise..the NOTW had a large readership,wasn't it the largest Sunday paper readership?..Murdoch wasn't going to lose that much of his empire without giving it another go..

I doubt it - The Screws was rubbish even when they used highly immoral practices to get stories. Imagine what it'll be like when it's above board.

Mister M Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 i see rupert murdoch is to launch a sunday edition of the sun to replace the news of the world. any thoughts? and i wonder how many ex-notw reporters have been hanging around street corners waiting for this? and also will it be an improvement on notw? My thoughts are it'll degenerate into the cesspit that was the NOTW, especially as Murdoch says he is going to tranfer staff over. Also those who dares criticise the dirty digger watch out as he is a vengeful ******* (see what he and his sihtrag did to Anne Diamond). But people will buy it.

callippo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 people are buying a million less newspapers on Sunday than they were before the NOTW closed. That's the number of former NOTW readers that haven't transferred to other titles. the first run will probably shift about 3.5 million copies, which will make it the highest circulation of any newspaper printed in English anywhere in the world.

Will they be aware there are other titles? If it all goes pear shaped in court aren't the American backers pulling out altogether leaving the whole bunch high and dry in the UK.

Muldoon Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'v just had a thought (ouch !) If the Sun newspaper comes out on a Sunday, will page 3 still be displaying bimbo's with boobies ? Surely there will be uproar from the anti naked league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that's what about half of those 3.5 million people paying 60p a shot will want to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those former News of the Screws readers won't go back to reading any Sunday paper? Newspapers are in a declining market as it is.
