The Sun was launched in 1969 with the slogan “forward with the people,” because that is what we believe in.
The Sun cares about quality of life, the kind of world we live in, and about people. The Sun is more than a newspaper. It is an instigator, an entertainer, a cultural reference point, a finger on the pulse and a daily relationship.
The Sun has been a campaigning newspaper since its inception and continues to be so today, with recent reporting focusing on the plight of refuge shelters for abused women and on male suicide.
The Sun stands for ordinary working people looking to get on, building better lives for themselves and their families, regardless of where they grow up or which school they went to.
What a time for all of our bills to go up! ⛔️

Congrats to Ed Southgate who has been named a winner in the 30 under 30 press awards.
Ed has covered high profile court cases including the murder of Sara Sharif including the only interview with Sara Sharif's birth mum after the guilty verdicts and helped overturn a ruling which banned journalists from naming the family court judges involved with the ten-year-old; the trial of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon.
Jon Lloyd, The Sun's Director of Video and Owen Griffiths, The Sun's Commercial Director spoke to Digiday about the success of Sun originals 9 months after launch, turning long-form digital video formats into signature franchises that keep viewers watching for longer, and later scale globally.
So far, 15 shows have launched since January, while seven new shows will launch over the next eight weeks.
Approximately 50 people now work on Originals content, with headcount set to rise.
In total, the shows have generated more than 113 million views across platforms, including YouTube, in the last eight months.
Over the past nine month digital revenue has nearly doubled, climbing from 9 percent in January to 18 percent today, as advertisers shift spend into premium formats.

Last week I spoke to Jessica Davies from Digiday along with Owen Griffiths about how we‘re growing original video formats and the impact it’s having already on the business.
Digiday: ‘The Sun is betting big on…original long-form video. Over the past nine months, video’s share of the publisher’s digital revenue has nearly doubled, climbing from 9 percent in January to 18 percent today, as advertisers shift spend into premium formats, according to the publisher.
In this piece by Jessica Davies, we speak to Jon Lloyd, Laura Smith of EssenceMediacom, and Abi Watson of Enders Analysis.’
