Damning phone hacking report in the UK

The House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee report into News International and Phone-hacking is challenging for News Corporation. Click the link to download the report.

The committee finds that Rupert Murdoch “is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company”.  However, the committee was split along party lines.

It will be interesting to see where this goes from here. While the terms of reference are quite different the report from the Leveson inquiry will probably carry more political weight than this committee report. That said, this report presents challenges for News around the world.
