Sun on Sunday pledges ‘trust and decency’

Rupert Murdoch’s newest newspaper launched with a familiar mix of celebrity news, scantily clad women and defiant language.

The first Sunday edition of The Sun has hit news stands with a pledge of “trust” and “decency”, following the damaging phone hacking scandal.

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch personally supervised the final stages of production of the new title which promised readers it would remain “fearless, outspoken, mischievous and fun”.
