News International

News International was a major media company based in the UK, known primarily for owning popular newspapers such as The Sun and The News of the World, along with other publications. It was part of News Corp, a global media conglomerate founded by Rupert Murdoch. The company faced significant controversies, particularly around issues of phone hacking, which led to a public scandal and legal repercussions starting in 2011. This ultimately resulted in the closure of The News of the World and raised broader questions about media ethics and regulation in the UK.
