BBC News have just reported that it's been confirmed there will be a 7-day Sun by News International.

When did "News of the World" stop being abbreiviated to "NotW" and change to "NoW"?

Apparently they have wanted to turn both the Sun/NOTW and the Times into 7 day a week operations. When this was put to the staff a few months back it obviously wasn't popular.

This is a very clever move to both reform the way their papers work, save money and jettison the tarnished NotW brand

It's odd though, I mean it's not as if the The Sun is regarded in the higher echelons of journalistic quality...

That doesn't really matter though when you make millions of pounds.

Potentially a master-stroke by Murdoch, wipe the slate clean with the NOTW, save money by producing a 7 day Sun, keep Rebekah Brooks in a job.

It'll be interesting to see how the story continues.

Neither of the papers are but that's not really the point. The 7 day a week operation was inevitable, it's happening elsewhere in the industry too. But the Sun has the better brand, before recent events they would have had a 7 day operation with 2 different brands. It's a neat, but harsh solution

"Worse revelations are on their way" apparently.

What is the source for that?
