After forty four years Britain's biggest-selling daily newspaper, The Sun, has stopped printing pictures of topless women on page three. In recent years it has come under growing pressure from campaigners who argued that the practice was conditioning readers to view women as sex objects. Steve Hewlett, who presents the media show on Â鶹Éç Radio Four, told Today Page 3 "is all but gone". He said "in print it is finished, but online it will still be there." Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow, said: "The sexualisation of women in this way was basically saying to all of us was that what mattered was our breasts, not our brains."
