The Sun is known as a tabloid newspaper with a great talent to uncover celebrities’ secrets, and while for years, few stars gossip and cover-ups were able to avoid the Sun’s front page, it seemed to have left out some of its own.

Ben O’Driscoll, former editor of the Sun, has recently been charged with bribing officials and staff of various hospitals for leads, as well as encouraging the rest of his staff to do the same.

This action goes to show that when businesses choose to partake in unethical and, in this case, even illegal practices, the public will find out sooner or later. This could be a turn for the worst for the Sun. While the Sun has never been seen as a particularly ethical company, so their customer base will not likely be turned off by this poor publicity as might happen for a more prestigious organization, many high standing employees in the newspaper are seeing similar charges.

Rebekah Brooks, the former editor-in-chief, along with eleven other senior members in the Sun are being charged with corruption related offenses, leaving the newspaper pretty short on staff.
