News of the World To Shut Down

News of the World To Shut Down: News of the World Closing Down: Andy Coulson, the former press spokesman for David Cameron, is expected to be arrested tomorrow over allegations of phone hacking during his tenure as editor of the News of the World.

Staff at the News of the World have reacted with shock to news that it will be closed after this Sunday’s edition. James Murdoch, deputy chief operating officer of News Corp, which owns the newspaper’s parent company, News International, made the announcement on Thursday at the paper’s headquarters in London.

The dramatic announcement follows accusations that the paper illegally eavesdropped on the phone messages of murder and terror victims, politicians and celebrities.

“Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper,” said Murdoch’s son James, chairman of News International, the British newspaper wing of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
