I must admit I do not know much about the Sun newspaper but from what I have read so far its mainly gossip. People loves a good story, a good gossip and as a result of that the Sun write what the people wants to read. I was reading an article from the Sun on the internet which speaks about president Obama visit to the UK, only to find the story was about Obama's brother who lives in a flat here in the UK which in my opinion was not an serious issue. The seriousness of this would be the reason Obama visited the UK. I believe to an extent the sun does write serious issues but use a different style of writing.
As the number one seller in the UK, I think it is the duty of the Suns newspaper and other tabloid to publish serious issues both local and internationally. They have the power to influence their readers that does not contribute to the sustainability of their life style and I think the same should be for serious issues that is affecting us globally.
The tabloid and media don't have much influence over me but I know their are millions suffering in different aspect of their lives because of the tabloid and media, (reality shows, soaps). The UK is fortunate in some aspect when it comes people being influence by the media. I was influence by America soaps, talk about glitter and glamour it's all in Hollywood. With the negative influences of tabloid, reality shows set up people to fail as a result of this moral values gone through the window and time and money is spent on gossip which people enjoy doing than serious issues such as climate change.
