The row over phone-hacking by journalists has led to the closure of the News of the World newspaper, and wider questions about press regulation, media ownership, the police, and relationships between politicians and journalists. News of the world was hacking into the voicemail messages of prominent people to find stories. It was admitted intercepting voicemail in April after the years of rumour that the practice was widespread and a terrible bad preasure from those who believed they had been victims. Police have a list of 4,000 possible targets. Among them are celebrities, sport stars, politicians and victims of crime who had been hacked.
