Is that certain?
I was on the BBC site not two minutes ago, and whereas their lead story concerns the News of the World, it doesn't mention the last ever edition...

Smart move by Murdoch, it was only going to get worse, shut it down and start again. The brand Notw has gone but the same lot will still be around.

Looks like we (the public) have won!

Rupert Murdoch has just announced that the last ever edition of NOTW will be this Sunday.

Thank ****, let the rag die.

Great news.... no boycott needed :dancer:

It'll obviously be back in some guise in the coming weeks, but the point is it'll not be the same type of reporting they peddled before. Which is good.

Now the people at the top need to either fall on there sword and face trial or be pushed on it and dragged kicking and screaming to the courts and let the courts decide if there a case to answer or not... :banghead:

I think there is more to come in this story.

Can I claim it was probably this thread that murdoch read and decide enough was enough? :LMAO:

They're trying to slime their way out of this by in effect taking the easy option - close the newspaper, which as already mentioned, sounds 'sensational' (ironic I know) but in effect, is a minimal move when you put all this into consideration (apart from the staff on the floor but the CEO still stays) with Murdoch's empire.

To really kick him where it hurts (and oh, how I wish I could), people need to boycott buying the S_cum - and not just for a week!

I live in hope people won't be taken in by this oh so pitiful, pathetic, false gesture.

Murdoch hasn't done this because of the feeling of outrage, he's done this for damage limitation.
