| Video Discription | DemocracyNow.org - Rupert Murdoch's media empire is engulfed in a growing scandal after new evidence emerged that his reporters in Britain paid corrupt police officers for story tips and hacked the voicemails of thousands of people, from child murder victims to the families of Britain's war dead. On Thursday, Murdoch shocked the country by shutting down the newspaper at the center of the scandal — the News of the World — Britain's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper. Founded in 1843, the tabloid's final edition will be this weekend. Earlier today, one former reporter for the paper, Andy Coulson, was arrested on corruption and phone hacking charges. Until January, Coulson served as British Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications. Democracy Now! interviews journalist Ryan Chittum, who has been writing about the scandal for the Columbia Journalism Review's "The Audit."
