The Sun

The Sun is a tabloid newspaper published in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. It is published by the News Group Newspapers division of News UK, itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. It is managing a digital transition and is playing catch-up online after being behind a paywall for several years. In September 2019, it had an average daily circulation of 1.2 million.
