The British Newspaper - The News of the World is set to cease publishing as of today after 168 years of being one of the main papers of British culture.
Recently the newspaper has made it’s own headlines as it has been dogged by scandal after scandal due to the phone hacking claims of various showbiz stars, politicians, family’s of deceased soldiers from the war, the Royal Family, and the family’s of murdered children in the media.
It is a disgrace of what certain editors, journalists, and private investigators have done but the newspaper should not be the one to be punished.
In the last week, the paper has lost over 20+ advertisers and three people have been arrested, it has also turned out their has been corrupt police officers who have received bribes over news information and that archive internet e-mails have been deleted in their thousands at the HQ.
I will buy the final copy today and be sad over this demise of a once great publication that has been tainted by greed and illegal activities.
R.I.P.
The News of the World
1st October 1843 - 10th July 2011.
