Last week& #39;s Insight investigation about the government& #39;s handling of coronavirus generated huge online traffic, won plaudits on social media and set the news agenda. Staff were told this week it directly drove lots of new subscriptions. https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...

But the government took the unusual step of publishing a lengthy blog outlining what it saw as “falsehoods and errors”. An ally of the PM described it as a "hatchet job". https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...

The Sunday Times is changing, with a new editor, senior staff departing, and moves towards merging more and more with the daily paper.

Insiders say its long term vision is to be a UK-version of the New York Times, with podcasts and a new radio station. https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...

The NYT is a paper for liberal, metropolitan Americans.

But the Sunday Times has traditionally been read by a "Middle England aspirational middle class: just about Tory and just about Brexit". https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...

A new Labour leader changes the dynamic too. Sir Keir Starmer is seen as more palatable to ST readers and staff than Jeremy Corbyn — but there are tensions over his role as Director of Public Prosecutions during the phone-hacking scandal. https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...

There& #39;s a "division in reporting" one source said, with some stories drawing on sources at the heart of government, and investigations by journalists outside the Westminster bubble. “I think it’s important you have both types of journalism going on. https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...

One insider warned against reading deep "Murdoch-y motives” to the investigation, adding "they just found a good story".

A senior Tory said it& #39;s hard to see how the relationship can continue as it has with the paper it says is more hostile than any other. https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso/rupert-murdoch-sunday-times-boris-johnson-coronavirus?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter">https://www.buzzfeed.com/joeydurso...
