The exam board says:
"Newspapers: The Sun Learners should have knowledge and understanding of The Sun as an evolving media product in terms of the relevant newspaper industry and audience issues it illustrates. In order to develop this awareness, learners should consider one complete print edition of The Sun chosen by the centre and selected key pages from The Sun website, including the homepage and at least one other page."
