Rupert Murdoch has reportedly stepped down as Chairman of News Corp. News UK, a subsidiary of News Corp, is the publisher of The Times, The Sunday Times, and The Sun. Commenting, Hacked Off CEO Nathan Sparkes said:

"Rupert Murdoch presided over a company where widespread illegality occurred and was subsequently covered up. Every day, News UK's unregulated newspaper publishers intrude on the lives of ordinary people and publish falsities with impunity. But changing the man at the head of News Corp won't make a difference - the problems in the Murdoch press and other parts of the national newspaper industry are systemic and can only be resolved with independent regulation."
