...all proceeds this week will be donated to charity.

Where will I get my worldly news from now!!

I need to know about foreign affairs, peace treaties, global elections and which ones from the apprentice are having it off with each other :shock:

blahblah · **Posted:** 07 Jul 2011, 16:52

It seems like the tip of the iceberg, with something 4,000 possible taps; and possible email hacking.

The revelations are not going to stop anytime soon......

Maybe the notion that they would be faced with continual injunctions due to the possibility of phone tapping

Far more likely that Rupe had to do something to try to get the take-over accepted?

Sun next hopefully.

Yes please,

Although I am sure it's not going to be long until a "The Sun on Sunday" is released.......

blahblah · **Posted:** 07 Jul 2011, 16:55

I am surprising that they have not been mentioned.

Did the NotW do the "investigations" and the Sun run with it until the next great exposee?

Surprised · **Posted:** 07 Jul 2011, 17:00

That is huge news.
Hopefully next it is the real sleaze papers known as the Daily Mail and the Daily Express.

The News of the End of the News of the World is nigh

There is the suggestion that other papers could come under the spotlight, now, and the gutter press be cleaned up; however, I would expect the Sun on Sunday to emerge later in the year, and little changing unless the public\advertisers pressure continues.

News International have been planning for the Sun to be 7 days a week for a while now.

Sunday Sun to launch. Surprise surprise.

Surprised · **Posted:** 07 Jul 2011, 17:20

This could backfire in a huge way.

NOTW rebranded as Sun on Sunday - big deal.

Have they confirmed this?

When asked it wasn't denied, but not confirmed.

"Sun staff have been told they are moving to a 7-day operation"

They will just re-employ all the notw staff and journos, not a shred of difference. Will still be the same obsession with z-list celebs.

With luck people will stop buying it?

The omission which jumps out at me is that there is almost nothing in Murdoch's statement about the future of the people who work for NOTW - either reference to redundancies or re-assurances about continued employment.

Whatever you think of the paper most employees don't deserve to be suddenly on the dole because of a few crooks.

Or maybe tomorrow they will all be re-hired by the Sun on Sunday?

Or maybe it will go upmarket and compete with the Observer, with the obligatory bit of tit & ass thrown in of course.

"Encouraged to apply for new positions, within the Company".

The paper cannot survive without adverts so Murdoch must have spoken with the ones who left the NOTW.
Maybe they all said they'd come back if it was not called the NOTW.
So he changed the name.

NoTW axed!
