The sun has decided to cut off  its standalone politics site, less than a year after it launched as a “loud and disruptive” platform for stories outside the title’s paywall. This links to the sun nation and  now the suns political section.

• The spokesperson said: “With the Sun’s online content now freely available we felt it was no longer necessary for a standalone politics site, but the same brilliant political exclusives, funnies and virals will still be available.”
• Sun Nation provided a way for the newspaper to publish stories during last year’s general election that could travel outside its then strict paywall. It was also a way for the Sun to experiment with ways of taking advantage of social media, something that is likely to be key to helping the newly free Sun.co.uk website grow its audience.

This is different as now the website has been getting more reader after dropping their website. This hasn't been happening to all websites as its something that only happens sometimes. Some newspapers prefer to have a website and want to do certain things. This shows that the sun audiences only want to be read.

News Corp denies rumors company wants to buy Twitter

Rupert Murdoch's company news corp have denied the fact that they want to buy news corp. They are saying that this isn't true and don't want to but the big social media company.

• Twitter’s shares, which rose as much as 14%, pared some gains and were up 5.2% at $17.55 in late afternoon trading. The rumors had lifted the stock from a record low.
• Twitter has been the subject of takeover rumors in the past, including a fake report attributed toBloomberg News that claimed the company had received an offer to be acquired for $31bn.
• Twitter trades at 28.12 times forward earnings, below its peer median of 36.06. Facebook has a PE of 33.08, while LinkedIn Corp’s is 52.64, according to Thomson Reuters data.
• Up to Tuesday’s close, the stock had fallen nearly 41% since co-founder Jack Dorsey was named permanent CEO in October.

I think it's good that news corp don't want to buy twitter as they would want to change it. Meaning that i don't think that they would leave it the same and keep it as normal twitter. This is bad as Twitter should stay as Twitter and not turn into something else. Sometimes people may want alot of big industries under  there name but they would want to change what the industry is. Its better to leave it all alone.
