EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling newsroom of The Sun newspaper office on Bouverie Street, London in the 1970s. This iconic building was not only home to The Sun but also housed the News of the World newspaper before Rupert Murdoch's acquisition in 1969. The print captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing journalists hard at work amidst stacks of papers and typewriters. The press is buzzing with activity as reporters chase down leads and editors make crucial decisions about what stories will make it to print. One can almost hear the sound of ringing telephones and clacking keyboards as this snapshot offers a glimpse into the fast-paced world of journalism during this era. The clock on the wall serves as a reminder that time is always ticking, deadlines must be met, and breaking news waits for no one. In January 1986, both newspapers made a monumental move to Wapping, East London, leaving behind this historic location forever. But thanks to images like these, we can still appreciate and remember the legacy of The Sun newspaper office on Bouverie Street - a place where stories were born and history was made every day.
