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—also to feature topless models on their third pages. Well-known Page 3 girls included Linda Lusardi, Samantha Fox, and Katie Price.

Page 3 was controversial throughout its history. Its defenders portrayed the feature as a harmless British cultural tradition, but its conservative critics tended to view it as softcore pornography inappropriate for inclusion in national newspapers, while feminist opponents argued that Page 3 objectified women's bodies and perpetuated sexism. Some politicians, notably Clare Short and Caroline Lucas, campaigned to have topless photographs 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. However, activists in 2012 launched the No More Page 3 campaign to persuade newspaper editors and owners to end the feature voluntarily.

In August 2013, The Sun's Republic of Ireland edition replaced topless Page 3 girls with clothed glamour models.[1] The Sun's UK editions followed suit in January 2015, discontinuing Page 3 after more than 44 years.[2] The Daily Star became the last print daily to eliminate topless photographs, moving to a clothed glamour format in April 2019.[3] This ended 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.

History

After Rupert Murdoch relaunched the loss-making Sun newspaper in tabloid format on 17 November 1969, editor Larry Lamb began to publish photographs of clothed glamour models on its third page to compete with The Sun's principal rival, the Daily Mirror, which was then printing photos of models wearing lingerie or bikinis.[4] The Sun's first tabloid edition showed that month's Penthouse Pet, Ulla Lindstrom, wearing a suggestively unbuttoned shirt. Page 3 photographs over the following year were often provocative, but did not feature nudity until The Sun celebrated its first anniversary on 17 November 1970 by printing model Stephanie Khan in her "birthday suit" (i.e. in the nude).[5] Sitting in a field, with one of her breasts fully visible from the side, Khan was photographed by Beverley Goodway, who became The Sun's principal Page 3 photographer until he retired in 2003.[6][7] Alison Webster took over Goodway's role in 2005 and remained until the feature was phased out.

Page 3 was not a daily feature at the beginning of the 1970s,[8] and The Sun only gradually began to feature Page 3 models in more overtly topless poses. Believing that Page 3 should feature "nice girls," Lamb sought to avoid the image of top-shelf pornography titles,[9] and asked the Sun's female reporters to review Page 3 images to ensure women would not regard them as "dirty".[10] Regardless, the feature, and the paper's other sexual content, led to some public libraries banning The Sun. A then Conservative-controlled council in Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire took the first such decision, but reversed it after a series of local stunts organised by the newspaper and a change in the council's political orientation in 1971.[11][12]

Page 3 is partly credited with boosting The Sun's circulation.[13] In the year after it introduced Page 3, its daily sales doubled to over 2.5 million,[10] and it became the UK's bestselling newspaper by 1978.[14] Competing tabloids, including the Daily Mirror, the Sunday People, and the Daily Star, began publishing topless models, although the Daily Mirror and the Sunday People discontinued the practice in the 1980s, calling the photographs demeaning to women. Page 3 launched the careers of many well-known British glamour models in the 1980s, including Samantha Fox, Maria Whittaker, Debee Ashby, Donna Ewin, Kirsten Imrie, Kathy Lloyd, Gail McKenna, and Suzanne Mizzi. Fox, who appeared on Page 3 between 1983 and 1986, became one of the most-photographed British women of the 1980s, behind only Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher.[15] In 1986, David Sullivan launched the Sunday Sport, which featured numerous images of topless models throughout each edition.[16] In 1988, The Sun began publishing a corresponding male feature called "Page 7 Fella," featuring image of barechested men. However, it did not gain popularity and was dropped in the 1990s.[17]

The Sun made stylistic changes to Page 3 in the mid-1990s. Page 3 photographs were printed in colour as standard, rather than mostly in black and white. Captions to Page 3 images, which had previously contained sexually suggestive double entendre, were replaced by a listing of models' first names, ages, and hometowns. It later added a "News in Briefs" item that gave the model's thoughts on current affairs.[18].After polling readers, The Sun in 1997 ceased using models who had undergone breast augmentation.[19] In June 1999, it launched the official Page3.com website, which featured additional photos of current and past Page 3 models and other related content.

Beginning in 2002, The Sun ran an annual contest called Page 3 Idol. Amateur models could submit photographs to be voted on by readers, with the winner receiving a cash prize and a Page 3 modeling contract. Page 3 Idol winners included Nicola T, Keeley Hazell, and Lucy Collett.

In the UK, the Sexual Offences Act 2003 raised the minimum age for topless modelling from 16 to 18. This legal change meant that all topless images of 16- and 17-year-old models that had previously been published on Page 3 became potentially illegal content.[17][20][21]

In 2020, Channel 4 produced an hour-long documentary, Page Three: The Naked Truth, to mark 50 years since The Sun first introduced Page 3.[22]

Publications

Opposition

Page 3 was controversial and divisive throughout its history. Its defenders often characterised it as an inoffensive British cultural tradition, as when Conservative Party MP Richard Drax in 2013 called it a "national institution" that provided "light and harmless entertainment".[23][24] Critics considered Page 3 images demeaning to women or as softcore pornography that should not be published in national newspapers readily available to children. Some politicians—notably Labour Party MPs Clare Short, Harriet Harman, and Stella Creasy, Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, and Green Party MP Caroline Lucas—made efforts to have Page 3 removed from newspapers. Meanwhile, The Sun vigorously defended the feature, typically representing its critics as prudes, spoilsports, ideologues, or jealous due to their own lack of physical attractiveness. When Short in 1986 tried to introduce a House of Commons bill banning topless models from British newspapers, The Sun ran a "Stop Crazy Clare" campaign, distributing free car stickers, calling Short a "killjoy", printing unflattering images of her, and polling readers on whether they would prefer to see Short's face or the back of a bus.[25]

As a co-founder of Women in Journalism, Rebekah Brooks was reported to be personally offended by Page 3,[26] and was widely expected to terminate it when she became The Sun's first female editor in 2003. However, Brooks defended the feature,[7][27] calling its models "intelligent, vibrant young women who appear in The Sun out of choice and because they enjoy the job".[28] When Short stated in a 2004 interview that she wanted to "take the pornography out of our press", saying "I'd love to ban [Page 3 because it] degrades women and our country",[29] Brooks targeted Short with a "Hands Off Page 3" campaign that included printing an image of Short's face superimposed on a topless woman's body, calling Short "fat and jealous", and parking a double-decker bus with a delegation of Page 3 models outside Short's home.[30] The Sun also called Harman a "feminist fanatic" and Featherstone a "battleaxe" for their opposition to Page 3.[31] Brooks later said that she regretted The Sun's "cruel and harsh" attacks on Short, listing them among the mistakes she had made as editor.[32]

In February 2012, the Leveson Inquiry heard arguments for and against Page 3. Women's advocacy groups argued that Page 3 demeaned women and promoted sexist attitudes, but Sun editor Dominic Mohan called the feature an "innocuous British institution" that had become "part of British society".[33] In his report, Lord Justice Leveson called Page 3 "a taste and decency issue" and stated that it thus fell outside his remit of investigating media ethics.[34] Short questioned Leveson's finding, stating: "Surely the depiction of half the population in a way that is now illegal on workplace walls and before the watershed in broadcasting, is an issue of media ethics?"[35]

Lucy-Anne Holmes, a writer and actress from Brighton, began campaigning against Page 3 during the 2012 Summer Olympics, after noticing that the largest photograph of a woman in the nation's best-selling newspaper was not of an Olympic athlete but of "a young woman in her knickers".[36][37] Arguing that Page 3 perpetuated sexism, portrayed women as sex objects, negatively affected girls' and women's body image, and contributed to a culture of sexual violence, Holmes launched the No More Page 3 campaign in August of that year.[38] The campaign went on to collect over 240,000 signatures on an online petition and gained support from over 140 MPs, as well as a number of trade unions, universities, charities, and women's advocacy groups. It sponsored two women's soccer teams, Nottingham Forest Women F.C. and Cheltenham Town L.F.C., who played with the "No More Page 3" logo on their shirts.[39]

Featherstone called for a ban on Page 3 in September 2012, claiming that it contributed to domestic violence against women.[40] However, then–deputy prime minister Nick Clegg voiced his concern that government regulation of the images would compromise freedom of the press, stating: "If you don't like it, don't buy it ... you don't want to have a moral policeman or woman in Whitehall telling people what they can and cannot see".[41] In June 2013, Lucas defied parliamentary dress code by wearing a "No More Page Three" T-shirt during a House of Commons debate on media sexism. She stated: "If Page 3 still hasn't been removed from The Sun by the end of [2013], I think we should be asking the government to step in and legislate". Culture minister Ed Vaizey responded that the government did not plan to regulate the content of the press, saying that adults had the right to choose what they read.[42] Then–prime minister David Cameron also refused to support a ban on Page 3, saying: "This is an area where we should leave it to consumers to decide, rather than to regulators".[43] After becoming editor of The Sun in June 2013, David Dinsmore confirmed he would continue printing photographs of topless models, calling it "a good way of selling newspapers".[44]

End of the feature

In February 2013, Rupert Murdoch suggested on Twitter that The Sun could transition to a "halfway house," featuring glamour photographs without showing nudity.[45] In August 2013, Paul Clarkson, editor of The Sun's Republic of Ireland edition, replaced topless Page 3 girls with clothed glamour models, citing cultural differences between the UK and Ireland.[46][1] Tho No More Page 3 campaign thanked Clarkson "for taking the lead in the dismantling of a sexist institution", called the decision "a huge step in the right direction," and asked Dinsmore to follow suit with the newspaper's UK editions.[47]

For several days after 16 January 2015, The Sun's third page featured images of women wearing lingerie and bikinis. On 20 January, The Times, another Murdoch title, reported that the tabloid was "quietly dropping one of the most controversial traditions of British journalism".[19][48][49] The decision to discontinue Page 3 received significant media attention. On 22 January, The Sun appeared to change course, publishing a Page 3 image of a winking model with her breasts fully exposed and a caption mocking those who had written about the end of the feature.[50] However, topless images did not appear on The Sun's third page thereafter.

Longtime campaigners celebrated the decision. Short called it "an important public victory for dignity",[51] while Nicky Morgan, then Minister for Women and Equalities, called it "a small but significant step towards improving the media portrayal of women and girls".[52] Lucas welcomed the decision to discontinue topless images but criticized the transition to clothed glamour, saying: "So long as The Sun reserves its right to print the odd topless shot, and reserves its infamous page for girls clad in bikinis, the conversation isn't over".[53]

Some former Page 3 models defended the feature and the women who had appeared in it. Model Nicola McLean told ITV's Good Morning Britain that Page 3 models were "strong-minded women" who "certainly don't feel like we have been victimised".[54] In a televised debate with Harman and Germaine Greer, model Chloe Goodman asked: "Why should feminist women tell other women how to live their lives?" Harman responded: "In a hundred years' time, if you look back at the newspapers of this country, and you see women standing in their knickers with their breasts showing, what would you think about women's role in society?" Goodman replied: "All over the world there are [depictions of] bodies in the nude, so I don't understand why it's just Page 3 that's being targeted".[55] However, Debee Ashby, who had first appeared on Page 3 as a 16-year-old in the 1980s, called its cancellation long overdue.[56]

Although The Sun had abolished the feature in its print editions, it continued to publish topless images on its official Page3.com website until 29 March 2017.[57] No new content appeared after that point. Page3.com was taken offline the following year and its URL redirected to The Sun's website. In April 2019, the Daily Star became the last mainstream print daily to discontinue topless images, when it also shifted to a clothed glamour format.[58][18] This ended the tradition in the mainstream British press, with only the niche Sunday Sport continuing to publish topless images in tabloid format as of 2023. The No More Page 3 campaign site, nomorepage3.org, was taken offline in early 2020.
