The Basics on the Latest Murdoch Scandal

Yet another scandal is bubbling up at Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. On Tuesday, the Murdoch-owned Dow Jones announced that the publisher of The Wall Street Journal’s European edition was resigning, without mentioning why. The next day, The Wall Street Journal reported that the top European exec stepped down after an internal ethics investigation found he had pressured reporters to write two positive stories about a Dutch firm with which the paper had an agreement that helped boost circulation figures.

4. They don't miss a trick, do they?
Work with equally unethical folks in other countries to pump up circulation numbers (which means charging higher ad rates, which I'm sure is just a happy coincidence), then do puff pieces on your silent partners, boosting their profile in the community. Ethics are for losers in Rupertworld.
