Last Friday’s print edition of The Sun was the last to feature a bare-breasted woman, ending one of British journalism’s most controversial traditions after 45 years, The Times, the tabloid’s sister paper, has reported.
The Sun refused to confirm the report on Tuesday. A spokesman told CNN: “It’s all speculation by people who don’t work on the newspaper. We regularly mix it up, there’s no hard and fast rule.”

“We’re really pleased, it’s a definite step in the right direction,” Laura Ashton told CNN. “It kind of depends a bit as well what they replace it with — if it continues to be women in bikinis then it’s still women being objectified, and we don’t really think there’s any place for that in a national newspaper, so the campaign will continue.”
