I work in a convenience store and The Sun/News of the world vastly outsell every other paper on the shelf, but why I ask? What is the appeal to cheap scandal sheets that are just all out trashy? I prefer the more refined journalism of the Telegraph or Times myself.

Because they are written for the stupid uneducated masses to give them something to look at.

Observe the types of people that buy these rags. They will probably go straight to the back pages. ( well, perhaps page three first). Most of the Guardian readers will have beards, and be moving very slowly ( not smiling) toward their public sector posts. Telegraph and Mail readers will probably be in a hurry to get to their posts in the private sector to earn some wealth for the nation.

I also prefer broadsheet newspapers, but The Sun can be read cover to cover in 5 minutes and does not tax your brain and is small enough to fit on the table at works breaktime.

The reason I buy it is because I KNOW it's crap. Its easy to read in my lunch break, gives me the goss and basic news information. For real news I go on the BBC website or watch the channel 4 news when I get home from work.

Because the majority of people in Britain are intellectually challenged. It's that simple.

The 'reality' of celebrity is about as taxing as they can handle. They're like comics for 'grown ups'.

Because you do'nt have to be able to read to understand them. I must put the dustbin out this week.

They're papers aimed at thick people who cannot read in paragraphs.

Because they appeal to the masses who are less educated and need things simple.
