Reuters has talked to former News of the World reporters complaining about the working conditions under Rebekah Brooks, the publisher and Rupert Murdoch confidante who resigned last week because of the phone hacking scandal.
Four former employees of Britain’s best-selling Sunday tabloid have told Reuters that Brooks’ denials are simply not credible. They say people on the paper’s newsdesk, the hub that directs news coverage, were regularly grilled about the top stories by Brooks and later by her successor Andy Coulson, who resigned over the phone-hacking scandal in 2007 and went on to become Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokesman.
This is an interesting read.
