The actual, true story of today was that the Murdochs escaped relatively unscathed. Not that you'd know it from most of the reports.
Rupert Murdoch has been accused of not being "a fit person" to run News Corporation.
The editors of newspapers in the News International stable have released a series of videos explaining their vision of a press regulator independent of the government.
The editor of the Sun is quoted on the News International website saying:
– Dominic Mohan, Editor of The SunSun readers expect journalists to behave responsibly, but don’t want them censored by a state-sponsored Ministry of Truth. This constructive proposal would create a tough but independent regulator supported by the vast majority of the industry – a workable solution which should command public confidence.
Rupert Murdoch's chief of staff has tweeted a photo which shows a rare glimpse of the head of News Corp at a meeting with The Sun's senior management.
Murdoch is pictured here alongside Sun editor Dominic Mohan "making footy plans" following the company's purchase of video clip rights to Premier League matches for The Times and The Sun's online operations.
The outgoing chief executive of News International has predicted some national newspapers will not survive in printed form as the industry confronts a decline in readership.
Tom Mockbridge told The Times he expected "some consolidation" of titles with sales dropping.
But he added that he remained an "unambiguous believer" that many printed newspapers would remain despite the shift of readers to websites.
