Sunday Tabloid Wars: Will The Daily Star Sunday, Sunday Mirror, People Or A Daily Mail Tabloid Challenger Get The News Of The World's Readers?

The End Of The World Marks The Beginning Of New Sunday Paper Struggle

When the News of the World closed last Sunday, it left a gap in the market for nearly eight million readers.

Some, like Fraser Nelson, say the readers could disappear all together. But for others, it’s the beginning of a battle to see who can emerge as the biggest Sunday tabloid.
