Europe’s biggest- newspaper has ended its 28-year of publishing pictures of topless women on its front page. , the tabloid “Bild” will feature the -clad models on page three. Editors said it made the decision to International Women’s Day on March 8th. All 300 female workers were also the day off. The paper said its male staff decided to the half-naked women from the front page. The publication explained the reason for changing its “page-one girl” in a statement, which : “It is perhaps a small from a female perspective, but for “Bild” and all men in Germany, it is a big step.” It added: “Of course “Bild” wants to remain sexy. But in a more modern .”

Over 5,000 women have topless on the newspaper’s front cover since 1984. Analysts believe “Bild” is now trying to its sales because of declining circulation . They say the paper is trying to attract new, female readers. Christian Meier, a media , said: “Part of their strategy to reverse that trend [of a readership] is to try to be taken more as a modern…newspaper. Having naked women on the front page just doesn't with that modern image. Their hope is that they will win younger, female readers.” “Bild” also reprinted one of its 1970 that announced: “Women have less in the head than men”. It stated this was, “of embarrassment today”.
