The News of the World will close after a final edition this weekend, News International chairman James Murdoch said today.
The tabloid newspaper will be published for the last time on Sunday after it was rocked by the phone hacking scandal.
Mr Murdoch said in a statement: “Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World.”
