No more news (of the world).
It comes as no surprise that the News of the World (NOTW) is trending at the very top of our leaderboard. This comes at the end of a momentous week in news culminating in the paper being closed down. Find out more about the allegations and the fallout here.
One of the very few positive tygs on the subject compares the NOTW to Wikileaks, arguing that they both bring news to the public. A second positive tyg points out that the NOTW “…lives and breathes what the readership wants”.
The vast majority of tyggers are happy that the paper will no longer be in circulation after this weekend but some are questioning the motives behind the move. One tygger called the move a cynical and strategic attempt to save the reputation of News International. Another argues that the move by Murdoch took away the public’s right to protest, and so the public must make sure to exercise their rights by “…boycotting all other News International newspapers.” These include The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times.
What do you think about the news that the paper is to be no more after 168 years in circulation? Join in the conversation!
All the best,
