http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/07/17/uk-newscorp-idUKTRE76A1OJ20110717(Reuters) - Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper business, mired in a widening scandal stemming from phone hacking, pledged Sunday to fully cooperate with inquiries by police, who themselves are under mounting pressure for being too close to his media empire.
There also were signs that the resignations of two top Murdoch executives, Rebekah Brooks, who was chief executive of his British newspaper arm News International, and Les Hinton, chief executive of Murdoch's Dow Jones & Co and publisher of The Wall Street Journal, had done little to alleviate pressure on Murdoch and his son James, chairman of News International.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that members of the board of pay-TV operator BSkyB, of which Murdoch's News Corp owns 39 percent and where James Murdoch serves as chairman, are to meet in a special session on July 28 to discuss his future.
