The Sunday Times is a Sunday newspaper distributed in the United Kingdom and Ireland owned by News Corporation.
While its sister paper, The Times, maintains a roughly equal circulation to the other main UK quality daily, The Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times occupies a dominant position in the Sunday broadsheet market. Other newspapers owned by News Corp include The Times, The Sun and News of the World. News Corp also owns the Fox Network and Sky Television.
It is noted for publishing the faked Hitler Diaries, believing them to be genuine. Other notable stories include,
- Israeli Nuclear Weapons - using information from Mordechai Vanunu the Sunday Times published the fact that Israel had manufactured over 100 nuclear warheads.
- Uncaring Thatcher - The Sunday Times ran a story claiming that the Queen was upset with the style of Margaret Thatcher's leadership. This was notable as the Monarch generally maintains a strictly impartial role in UK politics.
