Shredders must be SMOKIN'! "NY Post reporters told to preserve documents: memos"
Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 10:19 PM by in_cog_ni_to
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rupert Murdoch's New York Post has ordered newsroom staff to keep all documents related to questionable reporting methods involving phone hacking or unlawful payments to government officials in light of the fire storm in the UK engulfing the newspaper's owner, News Corp.

The company's legal department said in a memo on Friday: "As you have undoubtedly seen, there have been press accounts of inquiries into whether employees or agents of News Corporation or its subsidiaries have (a) accessed telephone and/or other personal data of third-parties without authorization, and/or (b) made unlawful payments to government officials in order to obtain information.

"As you also know, these stem from the actions at The News of the World in London, as well as unsourced, unsubstantiated reports in one London tabloid.

"Starting today, all employees must preserve and maintain all documents and information that are related in any way to the above mentioned issues.<snip>
