Chapter 1116： alarm bells

Evan-Bell's lightning-fast counterattack made Sean-Hall smashed and swallowed. This time, it was Sean Hall's miscalculation. He originally thought that Evan Bell would be the focus of attention again, and the "News of the World" could earn a fortune. Sean-Hall lost his wife and lost his army. Now his informants in the United States must be more careful. In a short period of time, the informants are reluctant to contact Sean-Hall. After all, everyone focuses on Xiao. On Enhall, an unintentional informant himself was exposed, and the gain outweighed the loss. You must know that these informants have more or less illegal activities on their bodies. If they are caught, they will not be imprisoned, but a fine or something is enough for them to feel pain.

Compared with the microphone incident last year, this time Sean-Hall was completely caught by Evan-Bell and gave him a severe meal. Sean Hall stopped immediately.

But Evan-Bell knows that this so-called shutdown is temporary, and it is impossible for these media to completely shut down, because for the media, the real shutdown is when they go out of business. But being able to make Sean Hall suffer such a big loss can be regarded as a bad breath from Evan Bell.

As for the clumsy and young rookie reporter, Evan Bell didn't hold on to him too much, but it was estimated that Sean Hall would not let him go.

This incident itself is nothing, but it is a wake-up call for Evan Bell. Yin Ran, Sean Hall would go and peek at the mailbox on the 11th. It is estimated that other paparazzi also have this in mind. More importantly, Sean Hall's action reminded Ehuobel. a very important thing.

Today Shawn Yishouer dares to call the secret mailbox of No. 11 Zijie Street, and tomorrow he doesn't know what more egregious things he will do, for example, eavesdropping!

The reason why the "News of the World" is famous all over the world is naturally because of its reputation as the Sunday edition of Britain's most famous gossip tabloid, "The Sun". "The Sun" belongs to the News Corporation of the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch . In terms of stock market value, News Corp. is the world's largest multinational media conglomerate, also known as "Murdoch's media empire".

Rupert Murdoch entered the British market as early as 1968, and his first acquisition was the Sunday Weekly "News of the World", which was famous for its pornographic content. Later, the media tycoon acquired the "Sun". It was only after the revision of "The Sun" that it became the daily edition of "News of the World", which focused on digest articles, and "News of the World" became the leading gossip tabloid in the British Isles.

Although the "News of the World" is famous in the world and is second to none in the British Isles, its influence is still more limited in the UK, and its influence in Ou Hong and even the world is limited. In the past life, even though Evan Bell was a news media insider, he didn't pay much attention to the "News of the World". After all, it was just a gossip tabloid. In the era when Bell became a reporter, the Internet media was already very developed, and the paparazzi news was rampant on the Internet, and he did not need to search for materials in the "News of the World" field. So not much attention.

It was on July 10, 2011, when the last issue of the "News of the World" was published, that Zhizheng made the name of "News of the World" spread all over the world. A disgraceful end. Accompanying this, there is the turmoil of the entire Murdoch News Corporation empire, and a crisis of confidence on a global scale. For one thing: the wiretapping scandal.

The so-called "wiretapping scandal" originated in 2006. Evan Bell remembers that a newspaper reporter had eavesdropped on the mobile phone information of the British royal family Prince William and Prince Harry. However, this incident did not cause wider repercussions, except that the reporters involved were put in prison and the editor-in-chief was dismissed. This newspaper is the "News of the World".

At the time, Rupert-Murdoch's News Corporation and the British government tried to cover up the scandal. They did manage to suppress it for a while. In fact, although it is illegal to eavesdrop on private phone calls, for all-powerful news media, there is definitely more than one "News of the World" media that does this kind of activity in the industry, but it has never caused any substantial damage. Injuries, coupled with the special treatment of public figures' rights to **, have never been able to be eliminated.

But as time went on, things gradually got out of control. In the tragic year, the British "Guardian", which was engaged in reporting and excavating the wiretapping scandal, finally got a return. They got exact evidence that the "News of the World" conducted an investigation on the mobile phone of the kidnapped middle-aged child in order to obtain news clues. Eavesdropping, thus affecting the police detection work.

The evidence obtained by the "Guardian" comes from a kidnapping incident in 2002. In March 2007, a 13-year-old girl named Midaller disappeared on the way from school, which triggered a large-scale search operation by the British police. Six months later, the little girl's body was found in a woods, and it was not until the 2009 kidnapping and killing of Midoller's killer who had just pleaded guilty. The "Guardian" only found clues after the murderer was slaughtered, and the "News of the World" hired private detectives to eavesdrop on Miller's mobile phone voicemail long after the girl disappeared. When Dowler's family and friends filled the voicemail with messages, detectives hired by the News of the World deleted some of the messages without authorization, which led the victim's family to believe that the child was still alive, and also interfered with the police's detection work.

After the scandal was disclosed, there was an uproar across the UK. The British Parliament held an urgent debate on the matter and supported a separate investigation into the wiretapping scandal.

During the investigation, it was found that the eavesdropping victims of the "News of the World" included the family members of Zhen Wang Yingjun and many important officials, including former Prime Minister Brown. In the past three years, most of the victims of the "News of the World" were public figures, such as Jude Law, Sienna Miller, Hugh Grant, David Beckham, etc. These public figures The victims are also not taken seriously because of their special occupation and status, and are not enough to anger the public. But this time, the "Guardian" report let the public know that the wiretapping scandal has even endangered ordinary people, especially the aunt named Midaller, which completely made British society bào angry. As a result, the eavesdropping scandal was spread all over the world.

After the wiretapping scandal, the commercial interests of the "News of the World" suffered one after another. Many companies, including Ford Motor, suspended advertising sponsorship. The Royal Veterans Association of the United Kingdom also contacted its cooperation, and even affected Lulu. Burt-Murdoch's takeover of Sky TV, and News Corp's stock slump.

In addition, a series of editors-in-chief of "News of the World" resigned one after another after the eavesdropping scandal, and were charged. In addition, a reporter was found in his home because the reporter told other media that the wiretapping was much more serious than the current police investigation had admitted. The next day, the reporter was found in Feiming, although the police said that it was handled without explanation, but the tricks in it were definitely not that simple.

Of course, the wiretapping scandal has also led to a significant decline in the credibility of the media, and British Prime Minister Cameron has also been severely criticized—because his relationship with News Corp has always been very close, many media even satirized Cameron as Rubeus A marionette in Murdoch's hands. In addition, there has been a worldwide crisis of public confidence in the media, which has a wide-ranging impact.

In his last life, as a member of the media, Evan Bell did not report much on this aspect, and he was still gloating at the misfortune. As a result, News Corp ended the 168-year history of the "News of the World".

When Evan-Bell came into contact with the "News of the World", he didn't like the newspaper, but Evan-Bell was not a top star at that time, and he was not at the point of being eavesdropped and monitored. Think about others. Evan Bell naturally has nothing to worry about when eavesdropping on someone like Prince William.

However, a few years have passed, and Evan Bell has become a well-known figure in the world, and the "News of the World" and Sean Hall have always been very fond of Evan Bell. Hold on. This time, Sean Hall had reached into the mailbox at Eleven Princes Street, awakening Evan Bell, who realized that there was no guarantee that the eavesdropping incident would not happen on Eleven Studios.

As long as Evan Bell thinks about Anne-Hathering and Brygow Lively, if they are wiretapped, it will be endless; and the same is true of the family. UU Reading Even if there are no such miscellaneous things, thinking of my life being eavesdropped by others makes me feel horrified. This is not playing a spy game. Silkworms have no receptive capacity.

The real significance of Sean Hall's actions this time is to ring the bell for Evan-Bell, reminding Evan-Bell of the terrible eavesdropping scandal.

In the last lifetime, according to incomplete statistics, the "News of the World" had more than 2,000 eavesdropping targets, but the reporter Yu Feiming said that the number was still far lower than expected, so the real number must be terrifying.

Evan-Bell immediately told Teddy-Bell and Eden-Hudson about the incident. Of course, he didn't say anything about the eavesdropping. He just thought that Sean-Hall had suffered a big loss this time, and the number of trips was sure. will be more aggressive. In today's society where everything can be accessed, bugging devices are no longer something that can only be seen in movies and novels. Similarly, anti-listening devices, one of the jammers, are not out of reach.

Following Evan-Bell's suggestion, several workplaces under Eleven Studios, as well as everyone's mobile phones, have all gone to work to clean up mold. This action is not small.
