Any real wrong doing? They still hacked and listened in on the voice-mails of a murdered school girl. Anyone who thinks that this isn't abhorrent, that it somehow absolves NOTW in this matter, is being either disingenuous or lacks a sense of reason into what should be considered acceptable behaviour by the press.
It doesn't stop there though, this was part of a collection of stories. They hacked numerous people whilst denying it at various stages even though it's now quite clear that they knew at the time it went beyond the 'single reporter'. It was a entire avalanche of stories that ended up closing NOTW, Brooks herself said she had seen there were more stories to come.
