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.

Who’d be a high profile tabloid journalist these days or even a tabloid paper owner? Scores of former News International staff have been charged with a range of offencess including phone hacking and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice (the latter carries particularly stiff penalties) while owner News Corporation has, so far, forked out [...]

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.

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 [...]

Over the weekend UK PM David Cameron (pictured) will be hobnobbing with the G8 group of industrial nations at Barack Obama’s Camp David weekend place. He [...]

A while ago we wrote that WPP boss Sir Martin Sorrell’s pay rise from £1m to £1.3m (which will trigger even larger bonuses) would be a ‘walkover,’ – shareholders wouldn’t necessarily be happy but the company was performing well so they’d just have to lump it.
