The education secretary, Nicky Morgan, who also holds the women and equalities brief, said the move was long overdue and marked “a small but significant step towards improving media portrayal of women and girls. I very much hope it remains permanent.”
The Sun still refused to confirm the move on Tuesday with a spokesman saying, “it is all just speculation, it is all wild speculation”. But the group’s sister title, the Times, said last Friday’s edition would be the last to carry pictures of a topless model.
This shows that feminism is being introduced in the media, and newspapers are realizing that it is wrong to be promoting nudity in a newspaper that's meant to provide information on important topics, rather than dedicate a page to models being naked (Page 3), as this is offensive to many.
-Last year the Sun made about £112m in display advertising across its Monday to Friday editions according to unofficial figures.
