News to launch local probe
Karl Quinn and Karen Kissane July 14, 2011
The AgeRUPERT Murdoch's News Limited has announced an audit of expenditure by its Australian newspapers in a bid to ensure their journalistic practices are clean.
The move came as British Prime Minister David Cameron last night announced a public inquiry into the News of the World phone-hacking scandal that could lead to Mr Murdoch being summoned to answer questions before a judge.
The announcement came hours after the head of Mr Murdoch's Australian division announced a detailed examination of local media operations.
''We will be conducting a thorough review of all editorial expenditure over the past three years to confirm that payments to contributors and other third parties were for legitimate services,'' News Limited chairman John Hartigan said in the memo.
