Article, once again, in dire need of update
[edit]I said I won't do it and I will stand by that, unless I can be somehow persuaded. This scandal, story, affair... call it what you will hasn't been in the news as much lately but there have been still many developments since May of this year. Mark my words, there will be more. Anyone care to detail them in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 (talk) 22:30, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- If you are unwilling to update it and have such an apathetic stance, why should that invigorate other editors to make you happy by doing the work?Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
I asked a valid and open question, and it has been months now, I suppose nobody cares. Well, so be it. What I said shouldn't motivate anyone to update this article, I guess. But if someone had read my question and thought... Ah! I care! I will make an update here and there for those like myself interested in this article!, and let all of us know of their action or actions, then that's fine. This story has not gone away and it is pretty near two years ongoing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 (talk) 02:23, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Yes, agreed this badly needs updating. Unfortunately it is so rambling and unwieldy and out of date that it would be a major effort to do it well. It's not clear to me that the content even appears under the correct title any more. The article's focus on News is straying into POV, I think. Although a large fraction of the coverage has focused on NewsCorp, it seems fairly clear that the problems go much further into the British press. This article itself already refers to very serious allegations (and arrests) against Trinity Mirror Group newspapers, for instance, for all the same activities that happened at NotW. None of the investigations have specifically focussed on NewsCorp - operations Motorman, Weeting, and Elveden and the Leveson inquiry have all been general investigations into press activity, not focused on NewsCorp. I don't think anyone is really to blame for this - the problem is that the scope of the scandal has expanded beyond News since most of the content was written.
In fact it's quite possible this article should be disbanded altogether and merged into [News media phone hacking scandal] - it covers the same ground but has a broader focus. Also rather better written, IMO. GoldenRing (talk) 12:56, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
Not sure this article should be disbanded but maybe needs a change of re-direct - it is confusing that 'phone hacking scandal' re-directs here now that Mirror group have been found guilty of the same thing. I had to manually redirect a 'phone hacking scandal' link I put into Sly Bailey to link to Overview_of_news_media_phone_hacking_scandals instead as it related to Mirror group not to NOTW.

Trolls trolling this talk page
[edit]I just want to let everyone know do not pay any attention to the trolls especially at the top of this talk page. It is obvious they are trolls because they are there to try and hide inside knowledge and sway public opimion in favour of the media conglomerates rather than the victims. I would have liked to have seen more coverage of this and there should be, but this article needs more updates and someone should do it for ultimately the sake of education. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 (talk) 17:44, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

[edit]If we skip Maxwell's attempts at obfuscation, we could write "owned by Robert Maxwell" instead of "published by News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation". The caption of the picture could be "Maxwell in 2007". 85.148.244.121 (talk) 20:58, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
