Great news, let's hope this doesn't stop those accountable from being brought to justice though.
Let's also hope a new paper does not start up in a few months time
At long last the British press are being held accountable for their actions. Let's hope this sends a message to all the journalistic low lifes that work for the other papers to smarten up their act.
Could we have rid of The Daily Mail too please?

it was the Guardian that pursued this, prompting Rebekah Wade to write to the press complaints commission accusing the Guardian of "wilfully misleading the public." LOL
Everyone, from the rest of the press to the police to the government would have preferred it to become a forgotten story
so don't knock the Guardian - not perfect, but not scum

Am I missing the point here?
NoTW and the Sun were in direct competition for their own readership more or less anyway.
Doesn't seem like a difficult decision to cull one of the papers and pick up the readership with the other.
Good business sence

That is MASSIVE, NoTW has got to be in the top 2 best selling Sunday rags. Murdoch obviously values his reputation more than a big money spinner.
Quite rightly closing too.

For some reason Murdoch would rather keep Rebekah and ditch the paper - what does she have over him?
Secondly, as said, Sunday edition of The Sun on its way.
Finally, readign the BBC report, it seems like they have baically had to admit that they did it to hundreds if not thousands of people and it wasn't just one chap as they told us but they were all at it. Given it seems like anyone involved in a major case through those years could have been hacked and it might well seriously affect some court cases, this looks like a jump before pushed case of appeasement.
Hope it doesn't work.

It had to happen even the NOTW couldn't come back from something like this.
What makes me wonder is how much deeper does it go, I doubt just the paper was involved and the police payoff but what about the government.........

And from the ginge minge herself a few days ago ...
"We will take a comprehensive look at where there is common ground across our titles and where we should remain unique.
Where there is common ground we will find ways of implementing efficiencies to editorial systems and processes and, where appropriate, we will find ways of introducing seven day working."

and
So Richard Caseby, the current managing editor at the Sunday Times, has been appointed group managing editor (NGN) with responsibility for The Sun and News of the World.
Cynical? Nah ...
