[QUOTE="toup, post: 417931, member: 12282"] This is actually a terrible outcome... 400 journalists, most of whom will have had no knowledge of any hacking, will lose jobs (at least those who can't be slotted into new roles... Possibly at the new 'Sunday Sun' which is clearly lined up to replace NOTW once the dust settles). These people and one of our oldest national press ***les have been sacrificed to protect several senior figures, particularly the editor at the time who is now effectively running News International, and delivered this verdict to the staff. What will be interesting to see, is whether this has been enough to stop the rot spreading throughout the News Int empire... Several advertisers have already pulled money out of other ***les, and it has prompted a 6 month delay and deeper review into Murdoch's plans to fully purchase BskyB. Clearly the hacking was completely unacceptable, but the wrong heads have rolled for it. [/QUOTE]
