The Sun has called time on its standalone politics site, less than a year after it launched as a “loud and disruptive” platform for stories outside the title’s paywall. This article explains that the launch of standalone politics site was not a good idea as a way for social media. For example it was only meant to stay for the elections then go it was only said to be an 'Experiemnt'.
1.The spokesperson said: “With the Sun’s online content now freely available we felt it was no longer necessary for a standalone politics site, but the same brilliant political exclusives, funnies and virals will still be available.”
2.At the time, the Sun website editor, Tim Gatt, described the project as an “experiment” and said there was no guarantee it would keep running after the election.
3.Sun began making an increasing number of stories on its main website free to read last summer, and by the end of November had dropped its paywall entirely, removing much of the rationale for the standalone site.
This would be move for The Sun to pick if wanted to remove it. If they believe it was only an experiment then it was only for the election. This would be because the paywall is gone and there is free content what is the point of a standalone where they can just put it on The Sun it would be easier and not loud and disruptive like they said. It wouldnt make a big difference as the online content should have more readers for politics but the experiment shown it went wrong if they did get rid of it.
