Talk:Overview of news media phone hacking scandals

Relationship to other articles regarding the phone hacking scandal
This article provides an overview of the news media phone hacking scandal that raised concerns about illegal acquisition of confidential information by news media organizations in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia between 1995 and 2012. The scandal had been simmering since 2002 but broke wide open in July 2011 with the disclosure that a murdered teenage girl's mobile phone had been hacked by a newspaper looking for a story. More detail for the scandal is contained in the extensive phone hacking scandal reference lists and in Wikipedia articles covering the scandal as it developed from the vantage point of specific organizations:
 * News of the World
 * News International
 * News Corporation
 * Metropolitan Police Service
