News of the World was shut down and News Corp. gave up on buying the 61 per cent of BSkyB shares it doesn't already own. Les Hinton, CEO of Dow Jones & Co., who formerly headed the News Corp. newspaper group in Britain, resigned as did two senior London police commanders. Two former News of the World editors - Andy Coulson, formerly Prime Minister David Cameron's communications chief, and Rebekah Brooks - are among those arrested in the investigations of phone hacking and alleged bribery of police officers.
