With more unraveling of the Murdoch/phone-hacking scandal, the consequences and reverberations of the case have grown extensive and increasingly grave.
The latest development came to light this morning when Sean Hoare, a former employee of the News of the World, who initially outed Andy Coulson for his involvement and awareness of the phone-hacking activity at the newspaper, was found dead in his home in Watford. His whistle-blowing had been intended with “the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up…” The details surrounding his death remain unexplained.
