Phone hacking scandal
The phone hacking scandal involved News of the World employees hacking into voicemail accounts of celebrities, politicians, victims of crime, and a murdered school girl to obtain stories. Investigations from 2005-2007 initially found hacking was limited to celebrities, but later revelations showed a wider range of victims. Rupert Murdoch, head of News Corporation which owns News of the World, faced allegations and investigations that phone hacking was widespread and approved within his companies. A public inquiry led by Brian Leveson investigated the culture and ethics of the press in relation to phone hacking and their relationships with police and politicians.

Every second working for Murdoch is a second spent thinking about what
Murdoch wants. He inhabits you.
Michael Wolff1
On July 19, 2011, Rupert Murdoch and his son James came to testify before a committee of
the British Parliament. It promised to be a contentious hearing. They were there to explain
how their tabloid newspaper, News of the World, had engaged in phone hacking over a
number of years. Beyond celebrities and the royal family, the Guardian newspaper had
discovered that Murdoch’s reporters had intercepted the voicemail messages of a kidnap-
murder victim, Milly Dowler, and had even deleted recordings from her cell phone. The
deletions, it was alleged, gave Dowler’s family “false hope” that she might still be alive.
Perhaps even worse, allegations of police bribery, in the form of regular payoffs in exchange
for information, were emerging, along with suspicions about “political deals” with Britain’s
top politicians.2
Having shut down News of the World a few days before, the Murdochs appeared contrite. “I
would just like to say one sentence,” Rupert Murdoch said. “This is the most humble day of
my life.”3
The allegations about Murdoch’s tabloids were not new. In 2006, it had become clear that
News of the World stories on the royal family could only have been obtained from access to
personal phone messages. In one case, a royal aide’s voicemail had been hacked 433 times.
Detectives from Scotland Yard had traced the responsibility to reporter Clive Goodman and a
private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire. Ed ...
The Leveson Inquiry
The Leveson Inquiry was a public inquiry into the culture and ethics of the British press that was launched in response to the News International phone hacking scandal. It was split into two parts, with Part 1 examining the relationship between the press, politicians, and police, and Part 2 investigating unlawful conduct at News International and related organizations. The inquiry was led by Lord Justice Leveson and aimed to determine how to establish a new, more effective system of press regulation. It considered evidence from victims of phone hacking and made recommendations about reforming regulation while also protecting press freedom.
Task 4
Piers Morgan has long been accused of involvement in phone hacking as the former editor of British tabloids Daily Mirror and News of the World. Multiple witnesses have testified that Morgan outlined phone hacking techniques and boasted of using them to source stories. While Morgan denies any involvement, evidence suggests widespread phone hacking occurred at the newspapers during his time as editor. The police investigations into Morgan have been ongoing for years, and more victims are continuing to come forward, yet he still maintains his innocence despite clear contradictions in his own accounts.

The allegations against Morgan span decades and involve the hacking of numerous celebrities and victims of crime.

The phone hacking scandal led to the closure of the News of the World newspaper. More than 4,000 people were identified by police as victims of phone hacking, including politicians, celebrities, and relatives of victims of the 7/7 London bombings. When naked photos of Prince Harry surfaced online, the palace contacted the PCC due to concerns about invasion of privacy if the photos were published in UK newspapers. The balance between privacy and press freedom is an ongoing consideration in the wake of the phone hacking scandal and Leveson inquiry.
Newspaper Annotation
This summary provides the key details from the newspaper article in 3 sentences:
The article discusses the phone hacking scandal involving News of the World and reveals that victims of the 7/7 London bombings had their phones hacked. It reports that Scotland Yard has contacted families of 7/7 victims to warn them that their phones were targeted by Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator employed by News of the World. The article also notes that police are reviewing other high-profile child murder and kidnapping cases in the UK since 2001 in light of revelations that Milly Dowler's phone was hacked by journalists.
Trial of two former top editors of new
The document summarizes the timeline of the UK phone hacking scandal that engulfed Rupert Murdoch's News of the World newspaper from 2005-2011. It details how royal officials first complained about possible voicemail hacking in 2005. News of the World later apologized for hacking voicemails from 2004-2006. The scandal led to the shutdown of the 168-year old newspaper in 2011 and the charging of former editors with conspiring to hack phones.
Phone hacking scandal (2)
The Leveson Inquiry was established in 2011 to investigate the culture and ethics of the British press in the wake of the phone hacking scandal at News of the World. Over 6 months, Lord Justice Leveson heard from 184 witnesses and 42 written statements. The inquiry aimed to examine relationships between the press, public, politicians, and police, as well as press regulation. Leveson's 2012 report found the existing Press Complaints Commission was insufficient and recommended establishing a new independent regulatory body with stronger enforcement powers like fines.
Legal Constraints
Legal and regulatory guidelines must be followed when reporting news involving minors or sensitive topics. Their identities must be protected and content appropriate for the likely audience. Certain stories can only air after the watershed when young children are usually in bed. News outlets risk fines for breaching contempt of court by reporting on ongoing legal cases. Defamation laws also protect individuals and companies from false statements that damage their reputations.
Planning & Structure of Interviews
The document outlines the plans for a radio interview to raise awareness of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and their strikes. The interview will take place on May 13th in the E6 Radio Studio and be recorded on an iPhone 5C. Questions will focus on understanding the purpose and goals of the NUT from the perspective of the interviewee, Paul Rossington, who is involved with the union. The interviewer prepared by approaching their tutor, Paul, to gain insight on the NUT for the audience.

Phone Hacking Scandal Powerpoint
- 2. News of The World – Who are the main culprits? Rupert Murdoch – is an Australian American business magnate. In the 1950’s and 60’s he acquired various newspapers in Australia and New Zealand before expanding into the UK in 1969, taking over News of The World and followed closely by The Sun. 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. Rebekah Brooks - is an English journalist and former newspaper editor. She was chief executive officer of News of The World from 2009 to 2011, having previously served as the youngest editor of a British national newspaper at News of the World from 2000 to 2003, and the first female editor of The Sun from 2003 to 2009. Brooks was a prominent figure in the News of The World phone hacking scandal, having been the editor of the News of the World when illegal phone hacking was carried out by the newspaper. Following a criminal trial in 2014 she was cleared of all charges by a jury at the Old Bailey.
- 3. Hacking Scandal : Key figures All together there were 30 people involved in the Hacking Scandal. This included people such as police officers, private investigators, journalists and reporters. The whole phone hacking scandal came to light in 2002 as part of The Guardians long-standing investigations. By 2006 it was clear that illegal activities were taking place by News of the World as the royal reporter and a private investigator Glen Mulcaire, were tried and convicted of illegal phone-hacking in relation to Princes William and Harry. The Guardian reports started to uncover evidence that, in fact, the activities had spread far wider at the paper. The News International phone-hacking scandal is a controversy involving the now defunct News of the World and other British newspapers published by News International, a subsidiary of the then News Corporation. Employees of the newspaper were accused of engaging in phone hacking, police bribery, and exercising improper influence in the pursuit of stories. Whilst investigations conducted from 2005 to 2007 appeared to show that the paper's phone hacking activities were limited to celebrities, politicians and members of the British Royal Family, in July 2011 it was revealed that the phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, relatives of deceased British soldiers, and victims of the 7 July 2005 London bombings had also been hacked. January 2007 News of the World (NoW) royal editor Clive Goodman and hacker Glenn Mulcaire convicted of phone hacking. Editor Andy Coulson resigns. News International says Goodman is a rogue reporter. 8 July 2009 The Guardian publishes an article claiming hacking was more widespread on NoW. 1 September 2010 The New York Times implicates former editor Andy Coulson, citing the now-deceased former NoW reporter Sean Hoare. 21 January 2011 Andy Coulson resigns as David Cameron's spin doctor, blaming coverage of phone hacking. Five days later, Operation Weeting, the Met police investigation into phone hacking, launches. April 2011 Three reporters on the News of the World are arrested: Ian Edmondson, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup. Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International, is on holiday in the Caribbean and is advised by colleagues that she too could face arrest. 4 July 2011 The Guardian publishes an article online claiming Milly Dowler's phone was hacked. 7 July 2011 The Met police says there are a possible 4,000 targets of hacking. James Murdoch announces the News of the World is to close. 10 July 2011 The News of the World publishes its final edition after 168 years. 15 July Brooks resigns. Les Hinton, her predecessor, now in New York running Dow Jones, follows hours later. 16 July Rupert Murdoch apologises in full-page adverts, saying: "We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred". 17 July Brooks arrested in relation to phone hacking. 19 July Rupert Murdoch tells a House of Commons committee that appearing before it is "the most humble day of my life". 27 October 2013 The phone-hacking trial of Brooks, Coulson and six others begins.
- 4. People who were affected There were 211 people who were affected by this scandal all together. This included celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham, Calum Best, Ashley Cole and Sir Alex Ferguson. There were also more serious hackings, such as the phone hackings of families of the 9/11 victims, families of UK soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and the families of Madeline McCann and Milly Dowler.
