Then the better known newspapers The Times (which is owned by the same group as The Sun) wrote earlier this week that the topless photos were now historythis attracted great international attention.
Short-term media storm
SOUR ANSWER: Topplöspiken came back in the form of a “correction” on the part of the newspaper.

British media, including public broadcaster the BBC, carried obituary-like reports about the end of the 45-year-old tradition.
The Sun hasn’t shown his bare chest since Friday, and The Times claims powerbroker Rupert Murdoch is behind it.
But it does not last long.
This morning, naked breasts were in the newspapers again. A blonde topless model winks at readers on the famous third page, under the heading “corrections and corrections.”
“In light of several articles in other media, we would like to clarify that this is page three and this is a photo of 22-year-old Nicola from Bournemouth,” the newspaper wrote under the image.
I don’t want to comment myself
Although The Sun has been widely discussed in many countries, the newspaper itself has not commented on the matter other than to state that page three is still somewhere between pages two and four.
In recent days, images of scantily clad women have appeared in newspapers, but with their breasts covered. Yesterday, the newspaper even moved it from page three to page five, perhaps to keep the issue hot.
The tradition of topless models on page three has been controversial, and there have been many campaigns against the media to eliminate the tradition.
“Thanks to The Sun for all the publicity they have given us,” wrote “The no to page three” campaign on its website today.
The Times backed down
Former page three girl Jodie Marsh posted the following twitter message on her page, aimed at the same campaign:
“How dare I suggest that you now spend your time and energy on something that really matters, like female circumcision.”
And the newspaper that broke the news turned out to not be completely correct?
They called it a “storm in a D cup” in their discussion of the issue today.
Just so you know, NRK.no also discussed this case last Tuesday, but it wasn’t too difficult for us to follow up today.
