## Resource

The News of the World was a weekly national " red top " tabloid newspaper published every Sunday in the United Kingdom from 1843 to 2011. It was at one time the world's highest-selling English-language newspaper, and at closure still had one of the highest English-language circulations. [ 4 ] It was established as a broadsheet by John Browne Bell, who identified crime, sensation and vice as the themes that would sell most copies. [ 5 ] The Bells sold to Henry Lascelles Carr in 1891; in 1969, it was bought from the Carrs by Rupert Murdoch 's media firm News Limited . In 1984, as News Limited reorganised into News International , a subsidiary of News Corporation , the newspaper transformed into a tabloid and became the Sunday sister paper of The Sun .
