The Sunday Times, owned by News Corp Australia, is a tabloid Sunday newspaper printed in Perth and distributed throughout Western Australia.
Established by Frederick Vosper in the 1890s, The Sunday Times became a vehicle for the harassment of C. Y. O'Connor and the proposed Goldfields Water Supply Scheme in the late 1890s until O'Connor's death by suicide in 1902. A subsequent government inquiry found no justification for Vosper's campaign against O'Connor.
The paper was purchased from Vosper's estate by James MacCallum Smith and Arthur Reid in 1901. In 1912 MacCallum Smith became sole proprietor and managing director, remaining in that role until 1935, as well as being a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly for 20 years. A. T. Chandler succeeded J. E. Webb as editor around 1920, and was an effective promoter of MacCallum Smith's secessionist views.
In 1935, a syndicate led by Jack Simons and including Victor Courtney and mining entrepreneur Claude de Bernales purchased Western Press Limited, the publisher of the paper, for £55,000. Simons was chairman and managing director until his death in 1949 when Courtney took control. In 1955 Courtney sold Western Press to Rupert Murdoch's News Limited.
The Sunday Times is the largest-selling British national "quality" Sunday newspaper. It is published by Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News UK, which is in turn owned by News Corp. Times Newspapers also publishes The Times. The two papers were founded independently and have been under common ownership only since 1966. They were bought by News International in 1981.
The Sunday Times occupies a dominant position in the quality Sunday market; its circulation of just under one million equals that of its main rivals, The Sunday Telegraph, The Observer and The Independent on Sunday, combined. While some other national newspapers moved to a tabloid format in the early 2000s, The Sunday Times has retained the larger broadsheet format and has said that it will continue to do so. It sells more than twice as many copies as its sister paper, The Times, which is published Monday to Saturday.
The Sunday Times has acquired a reputation for the strength of its investigative reporting – much of it by its award-winning Insight team – and also for its wide-ranging foreign coverage. It has a number of popular writers, columnists and commentators including Jeremy Clarkson, A. A. Gill and Bryan Appleyard. It was Britain's first multi-section newspaper and remains substantially larger than its rivals. A typical edition contains the equivalent of 450 to 500 tabloid pages. Besides the main news section, it has standalone News Review, Business, Sport, Money and Appointments sections – all broadsheet. There are three magazines (The Sunday Times Magazine, Culture, and Style) and three tabloid supplements (Travel, Home and Driving). It has a website and separate digital editions configured for both the iOS operating system for the Apple iPad and the Android operating system for such devices as the Google Nexus, all of which offer video clips, extra features and multimedia and other material not found in the printed version of the newspaper.
Sunday (i/ˈsʌndeɪ/ or /ˈsʌndi/) is the day of the week following Saturday but before Monday. For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest, holding it as the Lord's Day and the day of Christ's resurrection. Sunday is a day of rest in most Western countries, part of 'the weekend'. In some Muslim countries and Israel, Sunday is the first work day of the week. According to the Hebrew calendars and traditional Christian calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week, and according to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601 Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week. No century in the Gregorian calendar starts on a Sunday, whether its first year is considered to be '00 or '01. The Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. (The rules of the Hebrew calendar are designed such that the first day of Rosh Hashanah will never occur on the first, fourth, or sixth day of the Jewish week; i.e., Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday).
Sunday, being the day of the Sun, as the name of the first day of the week, is derived from Hellenistic astrology, where the seven planets, known in English as Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, each had an hour of the day assigned to them, and the planet which was regent during the first hour of any day of the week gave its name to that day. During the 1st and 2nd century, the week of seven days was introduced into Rome from Egypt, and the Roman names of the planets were given to each successive day.

«Ou pou découyoné là »…voici ce que le député gouvernemental, Ravi Rutnah, nous a dit lorsque nous l’avons appelé cette après-midi. Nous souhaitions obtenir du député de la circonscription numéro 7, Piton/Rivière-du-Rempart, sa version des faits concernant l’octroi d’une forte somme d’argent qu’aurait bénéficiée son épouse sous l’Overseas Treatment Scheme, mais Ravi Rutnah a fait de graves allégations contre Sunday Times. «Ou croire mo pou koz ek Sunday Times ?

Well, I'm trying to read my Sunday Times; it costs a
nickel & 12 dimes
I bought it late Saturday night; I've almost finished
but not quite
It weighed a ton it seemed to me that each one of them
must take a tree to
make
& also, I should think, it takes about a gallon of ink
Right off the bat in Section One: who, when, where, how
& what got done
The outlook's bleak, it's clear to see; Section 1
depresses me
All the heavy duty news; it gives you the over-informed
blues
& I'm so relieved when 1's all through; thumb through
1, get on to 2
Now I'm a show-biz kinda guy; the business is my life &
that's no lie
2's one of my favorite parts: Entertainment & Leisure
Arts
Which movie's great, which Broadway play; exclamation
points the way
The next time that things get this great is Sports way
up in Section Eight
I hoist the Times into my lap & take some time to heave
some crap
I guess some guys dig Section 3 but Business bores the
pants off me
If you want boring, here's a chore: Week in Review,
that Section 4
& who in the hell wants a review? Once was enough for
me, thank you
After 3 & 4 it's clear you want to get away from here
Escape to somewhere & you'll try; it's time to Travel;
Section 5
Guatamala's always quaint although the right-wing death
squads ain't
Satanic cults down the block; better stay at home,
escape culture shock
The Magazine is Section 6 with food & wine, full-color
pics
So sexy that you gotta stare at all the advertisements
in there
So glossy that the pages stick; flipping one at a
time's a trick
The crossword will keep you up late; & it's camp if
your kids are overweight
Section7, Book Review; it comes with me into the loo
The TV section; that's 11; naturally that goes with 7
7, 11, that's it; I read them there when 'ere I sit &
read
8 reviews of those who write; leads one to think that
one day one might
You need a job? That's Section 9. You're not jobless?
Hey, that's fine
Section 10 is Real Estate. You're not homeless? Hey,
that's great
This town is so strange; in this town life's subject to
change
What goes up comes down again. Hold on to 9, hold on to
10
Well, it's Tuesday & I'm still not done with Sunday's
Times, son of a gun
Monday & Tuesday's still unread; I could have read War
& Peace instead
A great relief I do not doubt when it's time to throw
all of these Times out
Tomorrow I'll buy Wednesday's Times; it's just one
nickel.just one
nickel.just one nickel & three dimes
