When I heard about the news which was of course the closure of one of the most successful newspapers in the world, being in print since 1843, I couldn’t believe my ears. Perhaps the bigger story here is what do these actions translate into?
After further telephone hacking scandals, this time the uncovering of murder victim’s phones being hacked, News International announced they are going to close down the publication, with Sunday 10th July being the last print.
Why would you want to close such a successful part of your empire News International? Is it because you know that by closing News of The World, you can shred all your documents and get rid of any further incriminating evidence, as no court order has yet to be issued to this part of the News International empire.
It’s fun to watch the big corporations hitting all the right buttons to get their selves out of huge tangles, maybe even more so funnier is knowing how many loop holes there still are in modern law today, what would have been even more funnier would have been to see what the public enquiry found after turning up a few stones!
Anyway, well played, good game Mr Murdoch
If you like money and don‘t mind collecting and keeping things for a long time my advice is to buy a few copies of the last print.
