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.
