Abstract

The Sun recently announced (via fellow Murdoch organ the Times) that Page 3 – the daily appearance of a topless model in the paper – was to be scrapped. Two days later, the Sun itself announced that after the briefest of hiatuses, it was to return. The press coverage of the whole affair was, according to Heather Savigny, poor – missing the opportunity to shine a real light on other pressing issues such as revenge porn.
