"Quite simply, we lost our way." Phones have been pirated, and that this journal is truly sorry. »
Allegations journalists of the newspaper paid police officers for information and pirated the voice messages of young murder victims and the bereaved families of the fallen prompted Murdoch News International to close the tabloid.
Developments up the heat on the media of Britain in a police investigation industry won't stop it with the news of the world of the concerns and cast new review on the intimate relationship between British politicians and the press.
Murdoch, who has long been regarded as a maker of Kings in the creation of British media, is facing a maelstrom of criticism and outrage on the new allegations of impropriety in his tabloid, but also the decision to ban the newspaper and to 200 journalists in their work.
Closure of the news of the world, which was launched on 1 October 1843, was seen by some as a desperate attempt by the negative impacts of the stem media conglomerate and thus save 12 billion pounds ($19 billion) agreement to support the British Sky Broadcasting satellite broadcaster.
The British Government reported that the agreement will be delayed because of the crisis and scandal continued to unfold at dizzying pace in the media, prompting more general questions about corruption to regulate the newspaper and media in the United Kingdom.
Introspection was extended to the highest level of Government, with Prime Minister David Cameron admitting politicians developed too cosy a relationship with the press. Former communications Chief Cameron Andy Coulson, is a former editor-in-Chief of the news of the world and was one of the three men arrested this week in a police investigation into allegations of hacking of phone and corruption.

"When the public saw revelations disgusting that we have seen this week, the idea that this organization, who are engaged in these terrible practices, should be allowed to take for this game 100 percent, without the criminal investigation having been completed... frankly just not wash with the public, BSkyB," he told the BBC.
Buy the news of the world in 1969, gave the Australian Murdoch his first foot in the media in Britain. To align up to several other titles, gaining influence almost unprecedented in British politics with the considerable power of all the titles of his papers.
Murdoch chose to silence much in benefits, issuing an official statement describing the allegations "deplorable and unacceptable."
Many observers of journalists and the media have expressed their surprise that Rebekah Brooks, who was editor of the news of the world when some piracy would have occurred, was to keep his job as head of U.K. News Corp. s operations log while the newspaper employees were laid off.
Murdoch Saturday told journalists at Sun Valley, Idaho, that Brooks had his support "total."

It is modeled on the "right of Megan," the legislation us, the name of Megan Kanka, a New Jersey child, murdered by a repeat sex offender.
Last page of the last edition had 1946 quotes from British author George Orwell, an admirer of the paper.
"You put your feet on the couch, adjust your glasses on his nose and open the news of the world", said Orwell.
The last page was also quotes from next to Orwell Jeannie Hobson, a faithful reader of Lymington, England, which reads as an epitaph.
"I cannot imagine Sundays without you," said the Hobson of 68 years. "I always remember the news of the world for the good things you have brought to light." I am sad to say goodbye to my favorite Sunday. »
