News International-owned UK Times Staff to be Asked if they Hacked

News Corp’s News International is looking into “editorial practices” at its news outlets.  According to the Guardian, the UK Times and its Sunday edition will be “interviewed by lawyers” for the review this week.

“Key staff” will be expected to tell the lawyers if they have used phone hacking “and what methods they employed in order to get stories.”

The Guardian added:

“It is believed that as part of the inquiry, emails and financial records relating to police investigations will be examined, as will records of cash payments made by journalists.”
