	BBC - BBC Four Profile - Rebekah Wade
		Equipped with a socialite's charm and a racehorse's stamina, Wade is fuelled by steely ambition.
		Wade cut her journalistic teeth on an architecture magazine in Paris, where she studied at the Sorbonne.
		Wade's dislike of the bosomed bevy is well established, but her Australian proprietor remains a fan, and Wade has yet to wield her paperknife on this particular phenomenon.

		REBEKAH WADE: That's correct, I mean there are about 110,000 paedophiles and convicted paedophiles that live in Britain at the moment in England and Wales and only 17,000 of those are on the register.
		REBEKAH WADE: Yes I do, I tell you why David, I think we will, is because at the moment Sarah's Law is, at the core of Sarah's Law that is left, today in the paper David Blunkett has announced that within in a year he will, he will pass through Parliament indeterminate sentencing.
		REBEKAH WADE: Okay well let me just take Paulsgrove very quickly, Victor Burnett, a convicted paedophile, 140 assaults for raping young boys between the ages of four and nine, that's 140 assaults that he was convicted of.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| The life of Rebekah Wade, the first female editor of the Sun
		Wade was heavily criticised, both for the lack of judgment in starting the campaign and for failing to defend herself in public.
		Wade is considered to have done a good job at the NoW, maintaining a circulation around the 4m mark while her main competitors, the Sunday Mirror and the People, have declined.
		Wade would certainly do well to acknowledge that, despite her misgivings, the editorships of Higgins and Yelland from the early 1990s onwards were remarkable in one key respect: they kept the paper miles ahead of the nearest opposition.

		Rebekah Wade, 37, who recently launched a campaign in her newspaper, the Sun, to stamp out domestic violence, found herself in a police cell in Battersea, in south-west London, after being subjected to fingerprinting and DNA testing.
		But Wade did not return to her marital home, which by then was thronged with reporters and TV crews in the kind of "doorstepping" tactic she has often employed.
		Wade, one of his proteges, retains his endorsement despite having overseen circulation decline from 3.5m when she took over in February 2003 to 3.3m today.

	Rebekah finds her place in The Sun - theage.com.au
		The day after she became the first woman to edit Britain's most feared and influential daily tabloid, The Sun, Rebekah Wade, 34, scotched speculation that she was going to scrap the paper's loved and loathed Page Three Girls.
		Because Wade never gives interviews, we are unlikely to know if page-three Rebekah typifies the type of ironic humour - reminiscent of the halcyon "Stick It Up Ya Junta" days of the 1980s - which some believe she will bring back to the paper.
		Wade, a striking woman with red hair, must be the only tabloid editor to have studied at the Sorbonne.

	Guardian \| Vigilance and vigilantes
		In fact, Wade was so certain that a paper which led on a campaign rather than a titillating sex scandal would lose sales that - on her advice - the print run was reduced by some 80,000 copies.
		Wade has adopted the philosophy expounded by the successful Mirror editor of the 1960s, Lee Howard, who said: "I believe in the anonymity of editors.
		To show how serious she is, Wade flew in from the US the parents of a child who was killed by a paedophile and who secured the passing of legislation which ensures that people must be told when freed sex offenders return to their neighbourhood.

		Rebekah wants to be on good terms with the people who are running the only show in town.
		Even when Portsmouth was on fire, and the crazed mob had mistaken a paediatrician for a paedophile, Ms Wade stayed in her tent and allowed a chap called Stuart Kuttner to speak for her.

		CONCERN was raised this week over the sanity of Rebekah Wade after she launched an astonishing rant against David Blunkett.
		Such an onslaught proved too much for Blunkett who branded the rag racist and threatened to end his regular meetings with Wade which began when she was editor of the News of the World, another Murdoch organ.
		Wade, who sparked attacks on the homes of innocent people when she whipped up hysteria over paedophiles with her shameless “name and shame” campaign in the News of the World, may soon be responsible for attacks on asylum seekers.

	The Scotsman - Business - Sun gets its first female editor
		THE cut-throat world of tabloids was stunned last night when, to use its common parlance, "flame-haired" Rebekah Wade was appointed the first female editor of the Sun.
		Ms Wade, who worked for a spell under Mr Yelland, is known to have disagreed with his approach, favouring instead the Sun’s traditional diet of showbiz and scandal.
		The arrival of Ms Wade is expected to lead to two changes - jobs may go and the Sun’s penchant for "titillation", such as topless women on page three, might be axed.

		Although Rebekah Wade's aversion to talking to the press makes it impossible to say, with certainty, that her editorship of the Sun represents an advance for both women and newspapers, her deeds as a campaigner suggest that it could hardly be otherwise.
		Considering that Wade was then number two on the Sun this implied criticism of her own paper, the home of National Cleavage Week, was considered rather dashing.
		As she left the News of the World this week, Wade's Sarah's Law campaign continued with reminders to readers that: "Every day there are, on average, 10 sex attacks on children." It remains to be seen whether she will take this mission to expose sex offenders with her to the Sun.
