INTRODUCTION
The topic I am looking at is the phone hacking
scandal by the newspaper company News Of The
World. I disagree with the issue described as it
effected celebrities and non- celebrities personal
lives. It also went against their human rights such as
privacy.
WHO WAS INVOLVED?
Senior editors
News Of The World manager Rupert Murdoch.
Rebekah Brooks
Andy Coulson Stuart Kuttner
In July 2011, Murdoch faced allegations that his companies, including the News of the World, owned by News Corporation, had been regularly hacking the phones of celebrities, royalty and public citizens. He faces police and government investigations into bribery and corruption by the British government and FBI investigations in the US.
BEFORE THE HACKING
The events of the News of the World, The Sun and The Times
took over the UK news agenda for several weeks. The impact
of the revelations concerning phone-hacking at a time when
news corporation (the parent organisation) was bidding to
acquire the rest of BskyB led to the explosive public debate
about the name of the relationships between the media, the
police and the government itself. The long-term effects of
these events on the Murdoch empire still rumble on.
