The News of the World phone hacking affair is an ongoing scandal concerning illegal practices that are alleged to have taken place at the News of the World, a weekly British tabloid.
The scandal began in 2005 when the NoW published a story about a Prince William knee injury, prompting fears that his aides' phone voicemail messages had been intercepted.
KEY FIGURES:
• Rupert Murdoch: Chief Exec, News Corp
• James Murdoch: Chairman, BSkyB
• Rebekah Brooks: Ex-Chief Exec, News International (Arrested)
• Andy Coulson: Ex-NoW editor (Arrested)
• Glenn Mulcaire: Private investigator (Arrested)
The News of the World (NoW) was part of Rupert Murdoch's News International newspaper group - itself the UK arm of the media mogul's News Corporation global empire. Former NoW editor Rebekah Brooks is its current chief executive. On 8 July, another ex-NoW editor, Andy Coulson, was arrested and later bailed in connection with the hacking allegations. Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire has served a prison sentence for his part in the scandal.
KEY JOURNALISTS:
• Clive Goodman: Ex-NoW royal editor
• Ian Edmondson: Ex-NoW assistant editor
• Neville Thurlbeck: NoW chief reporter
• James Weatherup: Ex-NoW reporter
• Sean Hoare: Ex-NoW reporter
(Deceased: Monday 18th July 2011)
• Paul McMullan: Ex-NoW journalist
Ex-NoW royal editor Clive Goodman was jailed in 2007 for intercepting messages, while NoW journalists Ian Edmondson, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup, along with Press Association reporter Laura Elston, have been arrested and bailed in connection with the hacking claims. Alex Marunchak denies receiving unlawfully obtained material. Other NoW journalists, Sean Hoare and Paul McMullan, have spoken about hacking at the paper.
The case continues.
