The News of the World is a British tabloid newspaper published every Sunday. It is published by News Group Newspapers of News International, itself a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and can be considered to be the Sunday version of The Sun. The newspaper tends to concentrate on lighter weight news stories such as celebrity gossip. Its fondness for sex scandals has gained it the nicknames "Sex 'n' Scandal weekly", "News of the Screws" and "Screws of the World". In December, 2002 it sold 3.78 million copies per week. The current editor is Andy Coulson, who replaced Rebekah Wade in January, 2003. She in turn had replaced Phil Hall in May 2000.
