Help me with my research on the Sun newspaper?!

[nyny]

Would anyone be willing enough to answer me the following questions. Am attempting to research my final year dissertation and driving myself crazy in the process. it won't take you long, pretty please:

1. How often do you read the Sun: daily, 4-5 times a week, 2-3 times a week, once a week, twice a month or once a month.
2. Do you read any other paper? Please state.
3. What is your profession?
4. Have you ever come across a Sun camapign i.e. persuading the government to make the breast cancer drug available? (yes/no)
5. How many?
6. Have you ever reacted to a sun campaign. If so how? (i.e.backed the sun, backed it your own way)
7. What are the main reasons you read the Sun?
8. What do you thing of the Suns political features?
9. Do you vote?

[Panic Button]

Too many words here for a Sun reader.

You need to add pictures.

[kwicky]

Without doing any research I would say the majority of its readers are in the C, D or E categories.

[admarlow]

I used to be a Media Executive specialising in the buying od Advertising in the Press, and from top line figures..
The Sun is the UK's biggest paper
More millionaires and people who fit into the A and B1 social catogories read the Sun than Vogue, the FT and The Economist.

[Hammer Head]

The Sun is not the UK's biggest paper. That accolade goes to the Sunday Times which has been known to weigh as much as a small car.

[spudqueen]

I do not and never will read the scum newspaper. I am a Liverpool supporter and could never pick up the paper again after what they wrote about Hillsborough. There are many newsagents in Liverpool who will not stock it.

[prattler]

spudqueen, I never read the sun back then.What on earth did they say?

[Joe_the_Lion]

Likewise, I am unaware of the Hillsborough reporting incident.

Does it beat "Yorkshire Ripper Claims His First Innocent Victim", after Sutcliffe killed a "non" prostitute?

[dummkopf]

The day after Hillsborough The Sun, with Kelvin MacKenzie as editor, had the big headline �The Truth� with these 3 sub headlngs :
�Some fans pick-pocketed victims� �Some fans urinated on brave cops� �Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life" The Sun is a rag and I won't buy it.
.

[Loosehead]

Oh dear spudqueen, I suppose they had the audacity to report the facts did they?!

[thedelbwa]

The Sun? Facts? Don't make me laugh. I'm an Everton fan and won't buy it either, partly because it's cr*p, and partly because of the above. It's a comic, nothing more, nothing less. Sorry, a comic has more factual content, I stand corrected.

[Hammer Head]

Some cretin at work buys it. It comes in useful when the Izal runs out.

[SRH]

1. Never
2. Yes - Daily Telegraphy, The Guardian, The Independent, The Times
3. Journalist - I used to freelance for The Sun and feel quite ashamed about that! It's a vile rag.
4. Yes
5. Most of them - through journalism press
6. No
7. Used to read it when training as a journalist to see different writing styles, and again for the same reason when I wrote for them
8. Practically non-existent. When they do report politics it is usually brief, hysterical, opinionated (swinging from right to left over the years depending on the editor and which party has the best looking/most scandalous MPs) and incorrect
9. Absolutely

[ShawTee7]

1) Never
2) Express
3) HGV Driver
4) n/a
5) n/a
6) n/a
7) n/a
8) n/a

I believe The Sun to be a complete rag. Its only worth to be useful in a recycling way.
