It is a sister paper to ''The Guardian'' and ''The Guardian Weekly'', whose parent company Guardian Media Group Limited acquired it in 1993. First published in 1791, it is the world's oldest Sunday newspaper. History Origins The first issue, published on 4 December 1791 by W.S. Bourne, was the world's first Sunday newspaper. Believing that the paper would be a means of wealth, Bourne instead soon found himself facing debts of nearly £1,600. Though early editions purported editorial independence, Bourne attempted to cut his losses and sell the title to the government. When this failed, Bourne's brother (a wealthy businessman) made an offer to the government, which also refused to buy the paper but agreed to subsidise it in return for influence over its editorial content. As a result, the paper soon took a strong line against radicals such as Thomas Paine, Francis Burdett and Joseph Priestley. 19th century In 180 ...

Damien McCrystal
Damien McCrystal (born 23 March 1961) became the first City editor of The Sun, News International’s daily tabloid, in September 1987 after Robert Worcester, the founder of Market & Opinion Research International (MORI, now Ipsos MORI) told Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News International, that the wave of utility company privatisations in the UK had turned one-quarter of The Sun’s readers into share-owners. At the time ''The Sun'' was selling approximately 4.2 million copies a day, with the highest circulation of any daily English language newspaper in the world. It was generally reckoned by News International and its advertisers, in those days, that each copy was read by up to three people. This translated, according to Worcester’s calculations, into three million share-owning ''Sun'' readers. As a direct result, Murdoch ordered ''The Sun''’s editor Kelvin MacKenzie to launch a page dedicated to business news and McCrystal was hired as its editor from another News Int ...
