In light of the News of the World hacking scandal, it has become apparent that some journalists and news organizations cannot be trusted. Many of the reporters for the News of the World got the information for their stories illegally through having peoples cell phones hacked. This raised many issues with and questions from the public. Because of the hacking scandal, the News of the World has shut down and quit publishing their Sunday paper. Rupert Murdoch is under a lot of scrutiny. Many people now do not trust the journalists of the UK and question others around the world. It’s not the stories the people don’t trust; it is the source of the story. People are skeptical of the stories because they wonder if the information was obtained through hacking or obtained through the hard work that reporters are expected to do. This goes to show that 1. Some people cannot be trusted, and 2. Reporters will do anything to get a story.
