Murdoch's News of the world involved in the closure of eavesdropping door

The world News, Britain's best-selling weekend tabloid, had to bid farewell to its readers as the snowball of the "eavesdropping gate" was rolling, and the headline in the last issue of the newspaper read: "Thank you, bye."

The last issue of the newspaper, the No. 8674 issue of the News of the World, wrote: "After 168 years of history, we are sad but proud to say goodbye to 7.5 million loyal readers, the world's best newspaper 1843~2011, we record history, we make history ... But the reader was not informed or clarified about the "eavesdropping" incident that led to the closure of the newspaper, and the purchase of information from the police.

"We demand and appreciate high standards, but now we can only painfully realize that in the first few years of 2006, some employees did not meet those standards and were ashamed of them," the editorial wrote. Very simple, we lost our way. This newspaper sincerely apologizes for the phone being bugged. ”

Murdoch, the deputy chief operating officer of News Corp and Chairman of the international News Company, announced on 7th that 10th was the last issue of the News of the world. The last issue of the paper was printed in 5 million copies, twice times the usual print, and all proceeds were donated to charitable foundations.

Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corp, arrived in London on 10th to personally handle the "eavesdropping" related incidents. Mr Murdoch, who has long been seen as a media giant with strong ambitions for the British media, is also facing a swirl of criticism-not just about "eavesdropping", but about the decision to close the news of the world, which has left 250 employees jobless.

At the same time, the closure of the News of the world was seen by some as intended to cut off the "toxic" assets, thus reaching News Corp's acquisition of BSkyB. Now the British government has signaled that the British government has decided to postpone the deal because of the "eavesdropping" crisis.

Opposition Labour leader Miliband 10th warned that the takeover of BSkyB by News Corp should not continue while the "eavesdropping" investigation was in progress. "Everything that has been uncovered is in the public eye, and the agencies involved in the case should not acquire BSkyB for a 100% per cent stake before the investigation is completed." "he said.

Now, British media are beginning to worry that the police investigation will not stop at the news of the world, and that the relationship between politicians and the media is under new scrutiny. The introspection has also risen to the level of government, with British Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledging that British politicians are too close to the tabloids and calling for a new media regulatory system.

In the final edition of the News of the World quotes the British writer Orwell, who is very popular with the newspaper, "Put your foot on the couch, put your glasses on your nose, and then open the news of the world."

Beside Orwell's words, A farewell word written by a man named Jeni Hobernsen sounded like an epitaph. "I can't imagine Sunday Without you." "I will always remember the news of the world, sadly, to say goodbye to my Sunday favorites," he said. ”
