The chief editor Andy Coulson then resigned from the newspaper. However, in July 2011, it was revealed that the phone of missing school girl Milly Dowler had also been hacked by a journalist from the News of the World.

...had built an impressive global sports regime within News Corp., while transforming the industry with innovative strategies, implementation, and technologies. Murdoch had used FOX's acquisition of the National Football League (NFL) rights in 1993 to launch an attack on the entrenched Big Three broadcasters--CBS, ABC, and NBC. On the cable side of the business, FOX had identified a gap in the market where unbranded and ungrouped regional sports networks aired local team games. FOX believed in the increasing regional emphasis of America and set out to bring the regional networks together. Despite these successful moves, Murdoch was aware of the ever-changing nature of the sports industry and knew that many key decisions lay ahead. Strengths Internal Fox Entertainment is an integrated entertainment company engaged in the development, production and worldwide distribution of feature films and television programs. It is also involved in television broadcasting and cable network programming. Fox Entertainment acquired DirecTV (earlier Hughes), in 2003, which helped it to vertically integrate its business.

...Ethical Event In July 2011, billionaire Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid newspaper was engulfed in a media scandal that jeopardized his media empire, News Corporation. On July 4, 2011, a reporter for the British the Guardian broke the scandalous news that employees from Murdoch's News of the World tabloid had hacked cell phone messages of Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old murder victim. An employee had hacked into Milly’s voice-message system to delete messages. This in turn gave her family and police hope that she was still alive. News of the World used the material obtained from the phone hacking to write stories about the murder victim in an effort to prolong the story and continue selling millions of copies. The interference on behalf of the newspaper obstructed the police investigation and appalled the nation (Kellner, 2012). Furthermore, it was revealed that in an effort to sensationalize the headlines, employees hacked into cell phones belonging to the families of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and family members of victims of the London terrorist attacks. The exposé revealed more than 4,000 allegations of phone hacking by employees of News of the World. Amongst the people being monitored were celebrities, politicians, the monarchy and ordinary citizens. The tabloid newspaper was implicated from information obtained from a convicted hacker’s detailed notebook, which contained about 11,000 pages of notes. Indignation and disapproval grew on a daily basis...

...possible victims * Arrests by inquiry A report by MPs into allegations of phone-hacking at the News of the World is due to be published later. The cross-party Commons Media Committee questioned journalists and bosses at the now closed paper, as well as police and lawyers for hacking victims. Its report will consider the role of James Murdoch, who has denied knowing of wrongdoing at the paper, and other former News International executives. The BBC's James Landale said their conduct was expected to be criticised. The committee of MPs began its inquiry in July 2011 in the wake of fresh newspaper revelations about the extent of hacking at the tabloid newspaper, with reported victims including the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler and the families of victims of the 7/7 London bombings. Continue reading the main story Analysis Ben Wright Political correspondent, BBC News Who knew what and when about the scale of phone hacking at the News of the World? It's a hugely contentious question and there are powerful reputations at stake. Not least, James Murdoch's, who may face criticism from the committee for the way he and News International handled the phone hacking scandal. But on the central question, MPs on the committee may believe Mr Murdoch's insistence that he did not know how widespread hacking went. His evidence was challenged by Tom Crone, a former News International lawyer and Colin Myler, the one-time editor of the paper. The committee began its investigation...

...SWOT Viability Analysis SWOT Viability Analysis on News Corp Schmitt Management Consulting Abstract Buying the newspapers in Rupert Murdoch’s empire is not a viable action for profit today. With the on-going scandal and lawsuit claims, the reputation of the corporation has been damaged beyond repair and your takeover would be fruitless. The future potential regulatory restrictions and fines are unknown today and there-fore leave a large portion of the picture unclear. Being able to hire new staff reporters who have been unmarred by the current scandal will be difficult, and the current staff does need to be replaced to avoid any future problems these recent practices have brought about. The print media is rapidly being replaced by online avenues, so there are few opportunities for growth in the print media. Allowing Rupert Murdoch to accept his own consequences and outcomes of this highly publicized scandal is the best action for you and your future profits. SWOT Viability Analysis on News Corp This is a SWOT analysis on purchasing News Corp. After extensive research and analysis I am recommending that you do not purchase this conglomeration of newspapers. There are currently far too many unknowns in regard to the future outcomes for this to be a viable venture. Analysis This collection of opinions on strengths and weaknesses has been solely compiled from online research of articles posted on the internet. The articles are based on facts known to reporters...

...is very competitive, particularly for sports programming. A decent part of profits in the media network segment comes from ESPN because sports channel is the most important channel for many people. The Company currently has sports rights agreements with the National Football League (NFL), college football (including college bowl games) and basketball conferences, National Basketball Association (NBA), National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), Major League Baseball (MLB), World Cup and various soccer leagues, and Golf and Tennis Associations. I believe people’s craziness for those sports won’t easily fade in the future; especially the recent “Linsanity” in NBA even motivates more people around the world to pay attention to NBA news, which I believe can bring in a great chunk of commercial revenues to Disney. Though “Linsanity” could be very short-term, those sport leagues signed agreement with ESPN boast of the world’s top athletes in their field; therefore there are always many people are willing to stick to their TV for hours to cheer up for their teams. That’s why I think the media network will have the best potential to grow in the future. 2.

...FOX News Biased? Media holds great power in any Country. It has the power to change the public’s perspective on any kind of leading force. It can provide information that the public may find horrifying, or it could provide a already negative view to an already disliked group. Whether the news provides good news or bad news, news is supposed to be informative, unbiased, and uncontrolled by any kind of power. The politician in power would make the call in which information is to be shared to the public or which information to be concealed. This kind of news provides no demonstration of what real news is supposed to be. Over the years, America seems to have been devoid of “corrupt media system.” As the country’s one of the main theme is to provide freedom of press, the news has not been too affected by the government. However, America’s news does not seem completely perfect either. One of the major broadcasting company, FOX, has the reputation of “bad news.” Not only is the company biased toward the Republican side, it also fails to administer what most people look for in real news. First, it is evident that Fox has been more influenced by the Republican/GOP side than any other party in America. Although it seemed somewhat unbiased for a little while, when the election time came, majority of Fox news articles seem to provide comfort to the public that the current government is doing its job is keeping the world a peaceful, safe and secure place. Secondly, because of...

Daily we are exposed to radio stations, newspapers, Internet, social media’s, and we have apps that send us alerts each time news alerts are updated. The most effective form of mass media this week for some would be a local news apps available that is accessible from a tablet, or a smartphone for example. The app sends alerts directly from the internet, right to the palm of your hand, and the information can be updated almost instantaneously. An example of this type of media would be the Local FOX 19 News app. It broadcasts anywhere from the weather forecast, to amber alerts, shootings, etc. Each form of mass media comes from some type of media outlet. We are not only limited to print and television. While these types of outlets are considered among the most trusted ways to hear about the news, we have many other types of outlets available to us. For example the Fox 19 News apps that has been listed before would have an outlet this outlet would be Fox News. Fox news uses many different types of outlets themselves to get their information across to their viewers. With the use of social media, and apps that can be downloaded on consumer’s phones, as well as television, internet sites, radio shows, etc. News applications are a great representation of what a media convergence is.

...collected the product was able to pass testing either because Monsanto misrepresented the findings of the safety of BGH or the FDA did not appropriately evaluate the potential safety concerns that may arise. Thus we have in society large corporations pushing aside possible human health concerns in order to make a considerable return on investment. Well according to a Kantian perspective this does not justify the means to an end nor would this pass under a “veil of ignorance” according to John Rawls. Canada had found conflicting results with those reported from the studies and banned the use of BGH as a result of their findings. So in turn, Fox News reporters Jane and Steve decide to do an expose of this story. In the process of writing it up Monsanto sends a letter saying that Fox News station would face ‘dire consequences’ if they aired the story. The threats eventually were able to crack senior management at Fox and they decided to pull the story to avoid a potential law suit and loss of advertising dollars. The implications here are contradictory to what the US promotes themselves as being, which is a free speaking democratic country. Censorship of this story by Fox News is not only violating peoples trust in hearing the truth from the news, but it is also allowing hazardous products for humans to make its...

...vs. Fox News I decided to focus on the CNN and Fox News networks for this assignment; in order to gain an understanding on the differences between how each network shares information with the public. From my own perspective, I have always viewed CNN as a more reliable source than Fox News, and as I analyzed both networks I find this assumption to be truer than I thought. I found that both networks share several of the same world news events, but each network has a different priority. However, of the several stories shared, one news report caught my attention most; the ISIS video threats to France, Italy, and the U.S. After watching both CNN and Fox News, it was evident to me that CNN broadcasted their findings in a very conscious manner, keeping the audiences best interest at mind. However, it isn’t just the fact that CNN touches upon several aspects concerning ISIS that gives me the impression that they are a more reliable source; but the depth that they get into in just thirty minutes. In the particular news broadcast covering the ISIS video that I saw, CNN gave detailed advice on how American tourists should stay safe, potential targets that ISIS may hit, and the protective security measures that the government is taking along with the FBI. They include insight on how several authorities are taking action by attending briefings and reporting back, as well as further investigation on how suicide bombs were built. When watching the one hour segment that Fox News had concerning...
