Times of London is now under investigation for hacking.
Something desensitizing is going on in GB. And it seems surprising that previous reports also pointed to media outlets owned by Australian turned American media personality - Rupert Murdoch.
The question for debate are these.
Questions about illegal computer hacking by The Times of London were raised on Thursday when officials at the judicial inquiry into press ethics said they would recall the paper’s editor for further testimony and the police confirmed that they were investigating an incident in 2009 in which one of the paper’s reporters apparently hacked an e-mail account.
Something desensitizing is going on in GB. And it seems surprising that previous reports also pointed to media outlets owned by Australian turned American media personality - Rupert Murdoch.
The question for debate are these.
- Is this decay on morality and lack of ethics of phone and email hacking uniquely British elite media ?
- Is this criminality a result of the owner's lack of ethics and values ?
- What causes reporters to stoop to such ethical lapses ? Money ? Power ? Fame ?
