Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks and her husband, Charlie, will be charged with the dastardly sounding offense of "perverting the course of justice" during the investigation of News Corp's. still ongoing phone hacking scandal.
Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor who also served as British Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director, is giving testimony in the Leveson Inquiry, where he's very good at avoiding substantive answers.
In today's testimony at the Leveson inquiry, News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch acknowledged there was a "cover-up" to shield the rampant phone-hacking taking place at his British newspapers. But his day of testimony before the Leveson Inquiry was also an opportunity to learn how the media mogul views his changing industry.
In portraying himself as an innocent party to whatever wrongdoing might have been going on at the newspapers he oversaw at News International, James Murdoch pleaded ignorance of both phone hacking and political influencing during his Leveson testimony.
Rebekah Brooks, the former CEO of News International has been arrested for a second time in the ongoing probe into corruption at Rupert Murdoch's British papers, along with her husband and four others.
As the British investigation into corruption at Rupert Murdoch's News International reveals a "culture of illegal payments" at the Sun, news that Scotland Yard loaned one-time Sun editor Rebekah Brooks a police horse has the rest of the U.K. press crowing about an inappropriate connection with the cops.
Five employees of Rupert Murdoch's The Sun tabloid have been arrested in connection with bribing public officials.
Ruthlessly manipulative and downright obsessive, Vanity Fair's profile of Rebekah Brooks certainly isn't doing any favors to Murdoch's "Fantasy Daughter."
Colin Myler, one of the most recognizable names from the News Corp. phone hacking scandal, is coming to Gotham to serve as editor-in-chief of the New York Daily News, arch-rival of Rupert Murdoch's New York Post.
One day after Piers Morgan's evasive testimony denying phone hacking during his editorship at The Daily Mirror, James Hipwell, an ex-columnist has offered up contrary details to the Leveson Inquiry, claiming the practice was widespread at The Mirror.
Piers Morgan has just finished testifying in the Leveson inquiry into phone hacking, but the CNN host and former News of the World and Daily Mirror editor may have already tipped his hand in past interviews, The Guardian points out.
He was one of the first arrested for alleged phone hacking at News of the World, and now private investigator Glenn Mulclaire has become the 20th.
Today's round of the British government's inquiry into the phone hacks at at News Corp. newspapers just concluded after interviewing three of its former journalists -- but it was Paul McMullan, a seven-year News of the World veteran, who was the showstopper.
James Murdoch's role as News Corp.'s public face during the phone hacking scandal won't cost him his chairmanship at British broadcaster BSkyB.
Apparently we've only seen the tip of News Corp.'s phone-hacking iceberg.
A new report that the British tabloid News of the World hired a private eye to spy on the lawyers of phone-hacking victims just got a bit Darker (yes, with a capital D!).
It turns out News of the World not only invaded the private lives of those it phone hacked, but also the lives of the lawyers hired to represent the phone-hacked in "an attempt to gather evidence for false smears about their private lives," The Guardian's Nick Davis reports.
It's been a rocky road for News Corp. since the news broke this summer that News of the World had hacked the voicemail of a murdered girl, but today the company finally settled with Milly Dowler's family.

The practice may open the door for a U.S. prosecution of News Corp.
