im not sure if this is the best place to put this..its my first post here..please go easy!..
just wondering about peoples thoughts of if this assumption has any basis? or am i just seeing headlines!
this could be the start of media as we know it collapsing..im guessing there will be tighter restrictions instead of just ethics comming out of this..
that change could basically tighten up the public and change the way we live.... as we all know the media has great influence..
what do you think?

I, unlike the other two who left it short and sweet will at least consider something other than the title

I don't think you can really equate it to "the end of the world", unless you are speaking of the true biblical sense of the term, which simply means a change to the world system, which would move us on to the rest of what you have suggested...

I think you have a very good point. It could actually be possible that certain people have been put into positions of power in such newspapers over the years to do precisely that which the government and the courts are now condemning.
"Why?" I hear some ask, so they can tighten the noose which they have had over the mass media for almost as many years as they have existed.
To truly answer the question though, first we have to ask another. Does the media control the public, do the public control the media, or is it a bit of both?
Such a question is not so easily answered.
this is more a transition from traditional "press" to still relatively new "media".
Same stuff delivered on a different medium. the written word is slowly being replaced by the sound byte.
What I hope is that if media becomes more interactive that it'll become harder to keep people in the dark about stuff.
thats called a remote control. and it doesnt help.
I have never read 'the news of the world' and never thought about that connotation but since it has dominanted mainstream news so much recently i think you may have a point. its not the end but plants the seeds into the slightly more edgier public, in a nlp knd of way.
Rupert Murdoch has just been served a custard pie.

Aye, I hear the Clown Prosecution Service are looking into the "foam pie to the face".
