Sun website traffic recovers as Mirror slips back

The Sun website: traffic rose by 16% in October


The Sun website bounced back in October, adding more than 180,000 daily unique browsers to take its total to 1.29 million. This represented an increase of more than 16% after a 14% fall in September, according to the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations. In July the site began allowing readers to access a large portion of content for free, and from the end of November it will ditch the paywall completely.
MailOnline 13,246,053 (-0.89)
theguardian.com 8,153,603 (-2.59)
Telegraph 4,285,687 (-3.03)
Mirror Group nationals 3,702,001 (-4.93)
The Independent 2,634,560 (-5.25)
The Sun 1,286,605 (16.03)
express.co.uk 1,209,801 (-0.27)
Metro 1,159,637 (25.29)
dailystar.co.uk 623,977 (9.35)
This article tells the audience that because of the increased content that has been made free on The Sun newspaper, it has risen in the number of its readership. This argues that the paywall doesn't in fact work and shows how people aren't willing to pay a subscription to access news online. This really accentuates the expectation of modern day society that news should be free. Also, the top 5 sites with the most readership don't have a paywall to access their content. This definitely shows how people aren't willing to pay a subscription because of the multiple services that freely give their content. 


The November 2015 issue of Playboy

Playboy’s CEO has said the decision to remove full nudity from the magazine was partly because the publication instead “bridge the gap” between men and women’s understanding of sex. Scott Flanders also said he felt the availability of porn online “has substituted for intimacy in personal relationships” and his magazine could help “bridge the gap between sex, and understanding of sex between men and women.” Playboy, founded by Hugh Hefner in 1953, announced last month that from March of next year the magazine will drop full nudity from its pages. The decision was greeted with delight in some quarters, although many queried the significance of the change. 

This change that the CEO of playboy has professed shows how there is slowly becoming an equality between both men and women. This choice to remove nudity is a slow change in representation of women.
