Whatever took them so long? Plod has finally pounced on four miscreant Mirror Group journalists in a dawn raid conducted by the Weeting (phone hacking) team. And what a haul it has proved to be. The four include the first serving editor to be arrested: James Scott of the Sunday People. Better known is one [...]

Sacked Mirror editors Richard Wallace (Daily) and Tina Weaver (Sunday) were plotting a buyout of their employer Trinity Mirror’s national titles before they were unceremoniously given the boot on Wednesday, according to the Telegraph’s media editor Katherine Rushton. It’s not clear from Rushton’s story, which was rubbished this morning by former Mirror editor Roy Greenslade [...]

The Rabelaisian guffawing in The Mirror’s newsroom when Trinity Mirror’s chief executive announced her unlamented departure is now reduced to a sullen whisper. Who will be next, the hacks timorously wonder as they survey the seismic damage caused by this morning’s fresh round of top level sackings? Out, in short order, have gone Richard Wallace, [...]

A month ago we asked if anyone still needed Trinity Mirror, publisher of the Daily and Sunday Mirror, the (Sunday) People and a gaggle of regional titles. This was in the wake of Sly Bailey’s removal as CEO when shareholders jibbed at paying her £1.7m a year to run a company whose value had declined [...]

Job done really as Rupert Murdoch’s hastily-launched seventh-day Sun sold out in many locations yesterday and pulled in an impressive list of advertisers, not all of the from WPP’s GroupM, his biggest ally in the business of re-establishing News Corp’s UK newspaper revenues and profits. And here’s the old boy himself (and Sun editor Dominic [...]

It’s pretty hard to think of any UK company that’s been as deep in the mire as News International, the News Corporation-owned company that published the recently-extinguished phone-hacking News of the World. But News is reviewing its £28m account according to Campaign, suggesting that the ever-combative company has decided that sitting in the corner and [...]

The Financial Times seems to think so, judging by an apparently well-sourced report that describes shareholder unrest at the UK national and regional newspaper company.

This weekend’s Mail on Sunday trumpeted its status as the UK’s top selling Sunday newspaper with just over 2m sales but that must be a crushing disappointment to Associated Newspaper executives who saw MoS sales briefly hit 2.4m in the immediate aftermath of the closure of News international’s News of the World. The NoW was [...]

Rupert Murdoch isn’t a very happy bunny at the moment although he can console himself with the thought that things could be much worse (they still might be). But what the News Corporation boss probably hates the most is that his decision to close the News of the World in the wake of the phone [...]
