The SUN Brand Health The Sun is a paper of human voices, capturing the unpredictable and unexpected rhythms of life and existence, the daily heartbeat of humanity in lucid and crisp prose. Little wonder we are called “Voice of the Nation.” All the newspaper readership surveys carried out in the country in the last four years acknowledge the very strong presence of The Sun in South-South, South-East, Northwest, North-East, North-Central and Lagos*. Readers of The Sun cut across different educational backgrounds with a greater hold on readers under the age of 50 years. Both males and females read The Sun, but a slight male bias has been noticed. Different occupational groups read The Sun with a strong pool of readers in senior management position. The Sun has the largest share of consumers’ mind (about 87 percent) i.e. the newspaper most readers are conscious and aware of. This brand health has been reinforced with the take off of two printing plants located in Aba and Abuja.
