News of the World

The News of the World was a British tabloid newspaper which appeared every Sunday. The newspaper was founded in 1843 and came on Sunday 10th July 2011 for the last out. The publication was stopped following the British eavesdropping scandal, including voice mails from politicians were hacked. ==Characteristics[ Edit] == The newspaper was the Sunday edition of the British tabloid The Sun and had just like the weekday Sun a circulation of approximately 3,200,000.The newspaper was politically very conservative and, above all, populist right oriented (although the "left-wing" Government of Tony Blair was supported at the time) and is strongly opposed to the EU, immigrants, foreigners and other minorities. Since its founding in 1843 the newspaper spent all very close attention to sports, sensation, the entertainment, (sex-) scandals, the "Star", health tips and fashionstyle and activities as women. The other articles consisted of apart from the usual political, General and economic news from sensational articles about violent and extreme murders, rapes and robberies, with many exclusive photos and interviews with the victims and people from their immediate environment.There was also much notice about the bad sides of European integration, safety scandals (especially regarding the fight against terrorism) and stories about bad experiences xenophobic about foreigners.

The newspaper was originally an independent Sunday magazine and owned by the Trinity Mirror, the British press company that also publishes the newspapers the Daily Mirror and The People. The newspaper was, however, in 1969, along with The Sun, to the Australian magnate Rupert Murdoch newspapers sold. This changed The Sun total of character, content, political opinion and intent, so that the newspaper got a huge print run, and linked them to the News of the World, so this was the Sunday newspaper of The Sun. This gave the News of the World also automatically aPage Three Girl, and were all Sun-headings to the newspaper added. ==Eavesdropping Scandal[ Edit] == The newspaper was stopped following a wiretapping scandal. In 2006 accused the London Police Clive Goodman, royalty-reporter of News of the World, and its private detective, Glenn Muclaire, voice mails of the Royal household of the British Royal family to have bugged. Both were imprisoned. Allegations against News of the World on the eavesdropping scandal came up, more and more cases in which journalists and employees of the newspaper the voicemails of public figures, celebrities and politicians intercepted.

The London Metropolitan Police restarted the investigation against the newspaper in February 2011. At that time there were twenty civil lawsuitsgoing against the scandal sheet. Lawyers of victims claimed that at least 7,000 people were bugged by the United Kingdom 's largest newspaper and that processes against the overarching News Corporation already £ 40 million (€ 44 million) has cost[1] .

In July 2011, new accusations against the newspaper out. The newspaper would be the voice mail of the missing and later found murdered Milly Dowler have hacked. Also victims of the attacks on 7 July 2005 and family members of deceased British soldiers. This news caused great public anger in Britain. Advertisers retreated and Murdochs takeover of television station BSkyB was endangered. [2]  Prime Minister David Cameron promised to start an independent investigation to Parliament all British tabloid newspapers and to investigate the case further. In response, other large companies put their ads in News of the World stop. [3]  On 7 July 2011, it was announced that this affair marked the end of News of the World. [4]
