Murdoch will oversee Sun on Sunday launch

Rupert Murdoch began work on the first Sunday edition of his top-selling British tabloid The Sun, seven months after the closure of its scandal-ridden sister title News of the World.

Publisher News International said the US-based mogul would stay in London to oversee the launch this Sunday and confirmed that the editor of the weekday paper, Dominic Mohan, would also edit the Sun on Sunday.

A News International spokeswoman said in an email to AFP: “Dominic (Mohan) is the editor and yes, Rupert Murdoch is overseeing the launch.”
