Murdoch-Owned Tabloid May Have Hacked Into Missing Teen’s Phone

News broke yesterday that British tabloid News of the World  hacked into the cell phone of a teenage girl who disappeared in 2002 and was later found dead. The girl’s family believed her to be alive, in part because a private investigator hired by the tabloid was deleting the victim’s voicemails. News of the World is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., and the outrage generated by the hacking scandal may affect people very close to the media mogul, and ultimately even Murdoch himself. We talk to Sarah Lyall, London-based correspondent for our partner The New York Times, and author of “The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British.”
