No More Page 3 was a campaign to stop ''The Sun'' from including pictures of topless glamour models on its Page 3; it ended when the topless feature was discontinued. The campaign was started by Lucy-Anne Holmes in August 2012;〔〔 it reached 215,000 signatures by January 2015. The campaign gained widespread support from MPs and organisations but was criticised by Alison Webster, the photographer for Page 3. In January 2015, it was reported that ''The Sun'' had ended Page 3, but the feature was revived for one issue published on 22 January. Following that, Page 3 has not been featured in ''The Sun'' again. == History of the campaign == The campaign began in August 2012, with a petition asking ''The Sun''s then editor Dominic Mohan to remove images of topless women from Page 3. The petition accrued 84,000 signatures by March 2013〔 and by January 2015 the petition had reached 215,000 signatories.〔 In February 2013, the campaign ran a ''Tweet Murdoch Day'', asking supporters to flood ''The Sun''s proprietor Rupert Murdoch with messages. The campaign also tried to persuade Lego to stop running promotions in ''The Sun''. Lego confirmed in March 2013 that their tie-in would end but denied that the move was due to the campaign.〔 In August 2013, the editor of the Irish edition of the paper, Paul Clarkson, replaced the photograph of a topless model on Page 3 with a picture of a woman in swimwear. His decision was welcomed by Holmes.〔〔 Dinsmore said in August 2013 that the Page 3 girl feature would remain in the UK despite campaigners calling for the Irish change to be copied there.〔 Following a 2013 ''Huffington Post'' article, discussing readers' potential attitudes towards models and Page 3's association with rape culture, which revealed comments made on the ''Daily Star''s Page 3 website, the ''Daily Star'' removed all comments within a few days and permanently disabled the feature to comment on the page 3 section. A joint campaign between No More Page 3 and Child Eyes called for the redesigning of supermarket newspaper displays to avoid children being exposed to sexual content on newspaper front pages. Such action had also been a proposal of the Government's Bailey Review in 2011. In November 2014, UK supermarkets Tesco and Waitrose announced that they would be implementing such a redesign. By January 2015, 30 universities had opted to boycott ''The Sun'' newspaper until the Page 3 topless feature was dropped.〔Lisa O'Carroll, Mark Sweney and Roy Greenslade ("The Sun calls time on topless Page 3 models after 44 years" ), ''The Guardian'', 19 January 2015〕〔An article of this aspect of the campaign can be found at: (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nomorepage3.org/news/students-no-more-page-3-needs-you/ )〕 ''The Sun'' was reported in mid-January 2015 to have dropped the feature from the printed edition of the paper〔 but it returned after less than a week on 22 January. Lucy-Anne Holmes was reported as having tweeted: "So it seems the fight might be back on." However, the revival turned out to be a one-off and, with the exception of that one day, Page 3 in its previous form has continued to be absent from ''The Sun''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No More Page 3」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
