I'd imagine we're just gonna see a Sunday version of The Sun. Won't be any difference whatsoever apart from the name of the paper.

Good riddance.

Wow. Can't believe it's been shut down.

I'm happy, but can't believe it! Hope all those reporters find it hard to get another job.. ars*holes

Shaun · 07-07-2011, 06:08 PM

It's such an empty gesture - noone's been brought to justice over what happened yet, and many people are now unemployed. Yet another careless, disgusting decision by a corrupt, greedy, immoral wanker.

James Murdoch
made a Commercial choice here.
He is a Clever man.

The Police Inquiry goes on
more arrests still to be made

And a 168 year old paper closes.

This is more about ownership of BSkyB and the 200 employees are not all journalists.

The logical inference of what is said here , is that all of them should be black listed so they are never employed again and they should all be denied the dole and have their photos plastered all over the community and branded worse than rapists and murderers.

Yet the editor at the time of the hacking still keeps her job in the organisation.

Sometimes when looking for work you have to take what is available, those are the rules.

Rebekah Brookes is deplorable. How she has managed to hang on to her job is anyone's guess. Claiming she didn't know about the hacking that happened while she was in charge should be reason enough to sack her. Instead not just journalists but printers, administrators etc. who had nothing to do with the scandal are paying the price for other people's greed and lack of scruples.

How can they sell a Paper with No Ads?

Its a Commercial Choice.

RIP NOTW

I hope Rebekah Brooks still has some shocks coming to her from the investigations.

Kerry · 07-07-2011, 08:23 PM

It's just going to be rebranded. Thesunonsunday domain names were all bought up a couple of days ago. Just hope people aren't gullable enough to think it's not related

Tom4784 · 07-07-2011, 08:24 PM

They'll undoubtedly just come up with a 'new' newspaper and return to business as usual before long. I am glad that, for the moment at least, NOTW is down and out.

Kerry · 07-07-2011, 08:26 PM

I'll be interested to know what their final headline will be.

Omah · 07-07-2011, 08:42 PM

Are Ms Brooks minions taking names "for the record" and will there be "repurcussions" later on for some of us, as occurred at DS when "pej" used his leverage to effect a cull of "disbelieving" FMs .....

What the hell are you supposed to believe these days? All coming out of the woodword but it would appear this might get milked too for 'celebrity' sake

George Michael has praised the decision to close the News of the World following the ongoing phone hacking scandal.

News Corporation's James Murdoch announced today that News of the World will cease production on Sunday following allegations that the paper hacked the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, as well as families of people who died in the 7/7 London bombings, among others.

Michael took to Twitter to declare today "a fantastic day for Britain", following various stories about his troubled private life appearing in the newspaper in recent years.

Michael said: "Hey boyz and girls, a message to my english fans in particular. Today is a fantastic day for Britain. Those of you that have wondered why I have had nothing to say this week about Rupert Murdoch, all I can say is that the time will come (sic)."

The singer also alleged that former editor Rebekah Brooks once told him that police officers, rather than members of the public, would often give the paper information about celebrities' private lives.

"But this much is worth saying now. Rebekah Brooks sat two feet from me in my own home and told me that it was never the public that came to them with information on celebrities, and that the Police always got there first," he claimed. "I think that's enough to be going on with. (Don't ask me how she got there). Believe me I didn't invite her.

"By the way, the things I have to say on the NOTW's corruption of the British justice system are by way of a public warning. These beliefs are in no way an excuse for any of my behaviour in recent times. I was happy to do my time, because I was so ashamed."

Michael concluded: "You gotta have faith in Karma. Today it's very real. And i hope the families of Milly Dowler and all the others who died get way more than an apology. God bless them x"

Saying that, it's someone who wouldn't want to shag Katie Price, so you won't know him....

I've just looked him up - his real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, a singer, and his father was a Greek Cypriot, resident in London, which is an amazing coincidence because, of course, Peter Andre(a), allegedly a singer, was born of Greek Cypriot parents, also resident in London .....
