The scandal-ridden British tabloid ‘News of the World’, would be closed down as the public backlash against phone hacking allegations continued to mount. Mr James Murdoch, Chairman of News Corp, said in a statement that “This Sunday” will be the last issue of the News of the World. The final paper will run no commercial advertisements, and any advertising will be donated to causes and charities. Around 100,000 people had written to the Culture, Media and Sport department consultation, amid the latest allegations against the paper, which include payments to senior police offices, and hacking the phones of victims of the 2005 London terrorist attacks. British Prime Minister has also assured to look into the public complaints and investigations are already on by the Scotland Yard in the matter.
