News of the World’s Ian Edmondson pleads guilty
Ian Edmondson, above admitted to and was charged for phone hacking between 3 October 2000 and 9 August 2006. With the paper’s former editor Andy Coulson and with hacker Glen Mulcaire, the paper’s former royal editor Clive Goodman, its former news desk executives Greg Miskiw, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup, the paper’s former feature writer Dan Evans, and other persons known and unknown.
My opinion on this news story is that it's ridiculous that someone would want to hack into someone's phones and messages, as this is private information. It is an issue that can be raised about internet/mobile safety. How much control really is given to us as users of the media, and how easily our privacy can be taken away by phone hackers such as Edmondson, and his helpers makes me feel like nothing personal can be shared over the internet, and maybe sticking to word of mouth is the best way to share information with one another! As opposed to texting/IM and calling - which is now getting more popular by the minute
- Between July 2005 and August 2006 records showed there were 800 calls and texts, or 90 a month
- £2,019 a week for “special investigations”
- 16 months after pleading not guilty, Edmondson pleads guilty.
