Re: [Update] NotW closed after phone hacking allegations / NewsCorp's BSkyB bid withd
This is good and not sure if relevant?
Quote:
A report in the Wall Street Journal today claimed that Murdoch has been considering the sale of News International, the embattled UK publisher of The Times, Sunday Times, The Sun and, until recently, the News of the World. News Corp opted to shut down the Sunday tabloid amidst allegations of widespread phone hacking.
The Wall Street Journal, which is owned by News Corp, cited "people familiar with matters" as saying that a total sale was among "a variety of strategic options on the table" as News Corp looks to a future beyond the phone hacking scandal.
However, the newspaper indicated that there didn't appear to be any buyers for the beleaguered News International, while Murdoch was also unlikely to sanction a deal. A sale would also not stop any criminal proceedings against the News International newspapers resulting from the current police inquiry.
