POPULARITY
In this episode, we explore the history of Page 3, one of the most controversial and enduring features of British tabloid culture. Introduced in The Sun newspaper in 1970, Page 3 became synonymous with topless glamour models, capturing both the public's fascination and fury. From its roots as a cheeky addition to the paper to its evolution into a cultural flashpoint, we unravel how this feature both reflected and shaped societal attitudes towards women, sexuality, and media ethics. We discuss the era when Page 3 dominated British popular culture, with models like Samantha Fox and Linda Lusardi becoming household names. At its height, Page 3 was a symbol of 70s and 80s hedonism, celebrated for its playful irreverence but equally criticized for its reductive portrayal of women. This episode takes a closer look at how the feature blurred the lines between empowerment and objectification, sparking fierce debates that continue to resonate today. The backlash against Page 3 is also a major focus, particularly the rise of feminist campaigns like No More Page 3, which galvanized public opinion and led to its eventual decline. We examine how changing societal values, media trends, and the advent of the internet forced a reevaluation of such content and whether the tabloid icon still has a place in modern Britain. Finally, we reflect on the broader implications of Page 3's legacy, from its impact on gender politics to its role in the evolution of media sensationalism. Whether you see it as an emblem of freedom or a relic of misogyny, there's no denying that Page 3 left a mark on British culture. Join us as we dissect its rise, fall, and enduring controversy.

pWotD Episode 2603: Page 3 Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 589,276 views on Monday, 17 June 2024 our article of the day is Page 3.Page 3, or Page Three, was a British newspaper convention of publishing a large image of a topless female glamour model (known as a Page 3 girl) on the third page of mainstream red top tabloids. The Sun introduced the feature in November 1970, which boosted its readership and prompted competing tabloids—including The Daily Mirror, The Sunday People, and The Daily Star—to begin featuring topless models on their own third pages. Well-known Page 3 models included Linda Lusardi, Samantha Fox, Debee Ashby, Maria Whittaker, Katie Price, Keeley Hazell, and Jakki Degg.Although Page 3's defenders portrayed it as a harmless British cultural tradition, the feature was controversial throughout its history, drawing criticism both from conservatives, who tended to view it as softcore pornography inappropriate for inclusion in national newspapers, and feminists, who argued that Page 3 objectified women's bodies, negatively affected girls' and women's body image, and perpetuated sexism. Some politicians, most notably Clare Short and Caroline Lucas, campaigned to have Page 3 images banned from newspapers, although other politicians, including Nick Clegg and Ed Vaizey, expressed concern that such a ban would compromise press freedom. The British government never enacted legislation against Page 3, although activists in 2012 launched the No More Page 3 campaign with the goal of persuading newspaper editors and owners to end the feature voluntarily.In February 2013, Rupert Murdoch, owner of The Sun, suggested that Page 3 could become a "halfway house", featuring glamour photographs without showing nudity. In August of that year, The Sun's Republic of Ireland edition replaced topless Page 3 girls with clothed glamour models. The Sun's UK print editions followed suit in January 2015, discontinuing Page 3 after more than 44 years. The Sun's official Page 3 website ceased publishing new content in March 2017 and was taken offline the following year. In April 2019, The Daily Star became the last print daily to move to a clothed glamour format, ending the Page 3 convention in Britain's mainstream tabloid press. As of 2023, the only British tabloid still publishing topless models is the niche Sunday Sport.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:51 UTC on Tuesday, 18 June 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Page 3 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Ivy Neural.
