Daily Sport
The ''Daily Sport'' was a tabloid newspaper published in the United Kingdom by Daily Sport Ltd., which specialised in celebrity news and softcore pornographic stories and images. The daily paper was launched in 1991 by David Sullivan, following its former Sunday sister title, ''Sunday Sport'' (first published in 1986). It ceased publication and entered administration on 1 April 2011. Following the purchase on 7 June by the telecom, travel and internet entrepreneur Grant Miller, the new online ''Daily Sport'' was relaunched on 17 August 2011 with sports coverage plus classified advertising for the first time in its twenty-year history.

Sunday Sport
The ''Sunday Sport'' is a British tabloid newspaper that was founded by David Sullivan in 1986. It mainly publishes images of topless female glamour models, and is well known for publishing sensationalized, fictionalized, and satirical content, alongside celebrity gossip and sports coverage. It has changed from including legitimate journalism throughout its history. A sister title, the ''Daily Sport'', was published from 1991 to 2011, when it ceased publication and went online-only, under separate ownership. Currently, the tabloid publishes three times a week as the Sunday Sport (Sundays), the Midweek Sport (Wednesdays), and the Weekend Sport (Fridays). The tabloid was previously available in mainstream retailers such as Tesco and The Co-op. However following the decline of Lads' mags and Page 3, it has since only become available in independent newsagents, and remains the only remaining British tabloid to feature glamour models and nudity.

It is bordered by the Cheshire Plain to the south, the Pennines to the north and east, and the neighbouring city of Salford to the west.

Softcore Pornography
Softcore pornography or softcore porn, is commercial still photography or film that has a pornographic or erotic component but is less sexually graphic and intrusive than hardcore pornography, defined by a lack of visual sexual penetration. Softcore pornography includes stripteases, lingerie modeling, simulated sex and emphasis on the sensual appreciation of the female or male form. It typically contains nude or semi-nude actors involved in love scenes and is intended to be sexually arousing and aesthetically beautiful. The distinction between softcore pornography and erotic photography is largely a matter of taste. Components Softcore pornography may include sexual activity between two people or masturbation. It does not contain explicit depictions of sexual penetration, cunnilingus, fellatio, or ejaculation. Depictions of erections of the penis may not be allowed (see Mull of Kintyre Test), although attitudes towards this are ever-changing. Commercial pornography can be ...

Front (magazine)
''Front'' was a British men's magazine. First published by Cabal Communications in 1998, it was created to rival IPC's publication '' Loaded'', catering to a demographic of 16- to 25-year-old males. It began as part of the British " lads' mag" genre of magazines, though the covers rejected this description with the statement "Front is no lads' mag". Whilst a major selling point was the photo-shoots of models, the magazine also focused heavily on music, films, gadgets and games, plus sections on fashion and sport. Glamour shoots within the magazine usually involved well-known models rather than celebrities. The magazine had also been responsible for a number of high-profile stunts, most notably smuggling an Eric Cantona lookalike, Karl Power, into the Manchester United team photo during a Champions League game. On 7 February 2014, ''Front'' magazine announced on its Facebook page that it had ceased operations and the magazine would no longer be published. The next month, on 18 ...

Duncan Williams (newspaper Executive)
Duncan Williams is a British publisher involved in regional news and sport media. Williams has been described as a media entrepreneur by members of the newspaper industry. He bought a portfolio of hyper-local newspapers during a period of industry transition, where long established titles were closing down and often selling at rock bottom prices. As rapid readership migrations from print to digital took hold, Williams maintained that "the real value investment is in the brand". However, critics insisted that his controversial acquisition of View From Newspapers, as well as the historic Pulman's Weekly News series had resulted in significant local job losses. Williams is also known for his work within the faith publishing sector, where he was involved in the surprise post-''Leveson'' success of a Christian themed magazine named '' Sorted'' gaining a foothold within the mainstream and highly competitive lads' mag marketplace.
