Input: David Cameron will meet Ed Miliband next Wednesday to agree terms of two official inquiries into the phone-hacking scandal, including a judge-led inquiry into the conduct of the original police investigation, and an inquiry into the future of the media and its regulation. 
  
 Nobody at Westminster, including Cameron, thought the announced closure of the News of the World made either inquiry less relevant. In a statement No 10 seemed unimpressed, saying: "What matters is that all wrongdoing is exposed, and those responsible for these appalling acts brought to justice." 
  
 Even in the cabinet there was extreme scepticism about the closure's meaning, with the justice secretary Kenneth Clarke commenting: "All they are going to do is rebrand it." The shadow culture secretary Ivan Lewis said: "What we want is not a change in title but a change in culture, and for those at the top of the organisation facing up to their responsibility. If this is a cynical ploy due to brand contamination, that would be reprehensible." 
  
 Labour continued to call for Rebekah Brooks to stand aside, a call that Cameron – who allowed her to become close to him personally – is not willing to match. 
  
 The first inquiry into the police investigation is likely to be led by a judge, and to be held in public with witnesses answering under oath, government sources said. It may not be able to start for up to a year since it will have to await completion of the current police investigations as well as the subsequent court trials. 
  
 Downing Street is also consulting with the Metropolitan police and the Independent Police Complaints Commission on the terms of reference of this inquiry, which will see some of the most senior figures in the Met in the dock. 
  
 The second inquiry will look at press regulation, including the role of the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) and how severe competition, changes to privacy laws, and the principles of self regulation could have led to a newspaper breaking the law so systematically. It is also likely to look at whether separate regulatory structures for newspapers and broadcasting are sustainable in the age of the internet. No 10 sources said that the prime minister remained a supporter of self-regulation, but widescale reform would be needed, and no issues could be left off the table. 
  
 This inquiry into newspaper culture, and regulation, can start earlier since its themes will not need to be informed by the outcome of any criminal investigations. It is unlikely to be led by a judge, No 10 sources suggested, and any recommendations will probably feed into a planned communications bill on media regulation. 
  
 It is a given at Westminster that the PCC system is broken, indeed the PCC itself has acknowledged as much by "withdrawing" previous reports giving a clean bill of health to News International. Ed Miliband in a speech is to call for the PCC to be closed. 
  
 The Department of Culture, Media and Sport also announced it will not be able to make a decision on whether to wave through Rupert Murdoch's takeover of BSkyB until at least September due to the large number of submissions from the public. More than 140,000 submissions opposing the takeover, mostly organised by an internet campaign, Avaaz, have flooded the department offices since Tuesday. A typical company takeover in the UK might attract between 10 to 15 public responses. 
  
 The flood is politically convenient to Jeremy Hunt, the culture secretary, who will make the decision and would not want to be seen to be backing News Corp in any way in the current climate. 
  
 In a statement Hunt said he was not delaying since no timetable had ever been published, but stressed he "would take advice from Ofcom and the Office of Fair Trading before reaching his decision on whether or not to accept the undertakings offered by News Corp". 
  
 Closure of the News of the World was clearly designed to make it easier to allow the takeover to go ahead later in the year. The paper makes trivial profits by comparison with BSkyB. But Lib Dems, speaking on behalf of leading colleagues in government, said the regulator Ofcom should still rule on whether News Corp, the parent company of News International, could possibly be deemed fit and proper to hold a broadcasting licence. 
  
 Lord Oakeshott, the Lib Dem peer who is close to the business secretary Vince Cable, said: "If News Corp, after what has been revealed this week, passes the fit and proper test, the question has to be asked, what does it take to fail? It has been repeatedly shown their assurances are worthless, so how can Hunt possibly accept assurances from a company still run by Rebekah Brooks?" 
  
 He added last night that Cable, had he still been tasked with making the decision on the BSkyB deal, would have referred it to the Competition Commission. 
  
 Oakeshott argued it was quite possible for Ofcom to take a view now on the propriety of News Corp without needing to wait for a decision from Hunt on the narrow issue of media plurality. 
  
 That view is not shared by some ministers, who argue the News Corp brand may be in the ditch now, but if by autumn executives are removed, presumably including Brooks, then the takeover of BSkyB will, under the law, have to be viewed on the issue of plurality, and probably agreed. 
  
 But Labour was arguing the full scale of the wrongdoing of News Corp, and the causes of its failure of corporate governance, cannot be known until the two inquiries are complete. On that basis Hunt should not allow the BSkyB deal to go ahead unless and until the scale of wrongdoing and perpetrators are known. 
  
 But Hunt will come under intense pressure from the originators of the Communications Act, such as Lord Puttnam and Lord McNally, to recognise he has to see how giving Murdoch monopoly ownership of subscription TV in the UK would be in breach of what parliament had intended. 
  
 The Labour party is thinking of holding a vote in the Commons next week on whether the deal should be referred to the Competition Commission. ||||| tweet of the day News of the World Staff Responding Appropriately to Shutdown 
  
 That's News of the World film critic Robbie Collin. Even though it's funny, it's also a sad reminder that a ton of people who had nothing to do with the hacking scheme just lost their jobs. ||||| The demise of The News of the World, which publishes only on Sundays, would seem to create the opportunity for that, these people said, speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

 Mr. Murdoch’s News International is the largest national newspaper publisher in Britain, a status that affords him tremendous economic and political influence. In addition to publishing The News of the World and The Sun, News International owns The Times of London, a smaller but more prestigious paper. 
  
 The News of the World has a circulation of 2.7 million, a size that gives News International scale with advertisers and a dominance in the market that analysts say Mr. Murdoch is unlikely to want to see diminished. 
  
 “Their significant share of the newspaper market is a very important part of their power base in this country — it is essential to their force and clout,” said Claire Enders of Enders Analysis, a media research firm.

 The News Corporation is unlikely to walk away from that much power, Ms. Enders added, and it would be wise to examine whether to start a publication similar to The News of the World under a different brand. Not to do so, she said, “would be a very severe business issue in terms of the existing economics of their newspapers, their revenues.” 
  
 But others questioned whether The News of the World’s success could be replicated so easily. 
  
 “I think they would be very hard pressed to get the Sunday Sun circulation to that level,” said George Brock, head of journalism at City University in London.

 A Sunday Sun, he said, “is not likely to be a complete offset.” 
  
 Closing The News of the World is likely to benefit the News Corporation in one major way, Mr. Brock noted: It could help tame any threat to the company’s pending purchase of BSkyB. 
  
 The News Corporation is also dealing with a flight of advertisers, something that users of social media hoped they could accelerate by creating an online campaign to encourage a boycott of the company.

 One Twitter user, Paul Friend, generated a Google document with e-mail addresses of the chief executives of the companies that advertise in the paper. The document was used by hundreds of people who then sent e-mails to executives with their complaints.

 By Thursday morning, more than 20 companies said that they would be suspending or re-evaluating their advertising spending with The News of the World.

 As the scandal widened this week, social media became an important vehicle for people to voice their discontent.

 “The goal was not to shut down the paper,” said Melissa Harrison, a freelance magazine editor whose efforts on Twitter on Monday helped prompt thousands of people to demand that companies withdraw advertising dollars from The News of the World. 
  
 “No one wants people to lose their jobs,” Ms. Harrison said. “I think our goal was to voice public outrage. What really happened is that people have found that they have a voice. And News Corp. heard that people have a voice.”

 “There is quite a lot of cynicism about what is really happening here,” she said. “It is looking like The Sun will go seven days a week and that everything stays the same.” 
  
 Ms. Harrison and a growing chorus of users on Facebook and Twitter are demanding a full accounting of the allegations that executives from The News of the World paid police officers, lied to members of Parliament and hired investigators to listen to voice mail messages left on the cellphones of a murdered girl and the victims of terrorist attacks. 
  
 “The idea that he can close the paper and it will all be forgotten is not going to work,” she said. “What we wanted was someone taking responsibility for this behavior, which means a criminal investigation.” 
  
 David Babbs, executive director of 38 Degrees, a grass-roots online advocacy group, said that more than 110,000 signatures had been gathered in recent days demanding a full inquiry and that they would be presented to government officials on Friday as a British regulatory agency formally ended its public comment period on the BSkyB deal.

 The group is demanding that the government decline Mr. Murdoch’s request for a controlling stake in the satellite company. 
  
 “This latest scandal has generated such an outpouring of disgust because it reflects the sheer scale of power that the Murdoch presses have over us, not just our media but our democratic process,” Mr. Babbs said. “The phone hacking is disgusting and disgraceful, but it also reflects the broader way that he has hacked our democratic process.”

 The outrage was not limited to people who see Mr. Murdoch as a political threat. Even people on his payroll objected. Employees of The Sun walked out in protest on Thursday evening. |||||
Output:
Facing a mounting public outcry over the News of the World scandal, David Cameron today announced a pair of investigations that will look into both the News of the World's activities (including allegations of police bribery) and the future of media regulation, the AP reports. Cameron said that politicians had grown too cozy with the press. “The truth is, we've all been in this together. Party leaders were so keen to win the support of newspapers that we turned a blind eye.” But he refused to apologize for hiring Andy Coulson. The paper’s closure has if anything intensified public outrage, because most assume it’s a ploy. “All they are going to do is rebrand it,” the justice secretary told the Guardian. Sources tell the New York Times that Rupert Murdoch has long been considering launching a Sunday edition of The Sun that could neatly replace News of the World. Today also brought a second arrest, with reporter Clive Goodman held on allegations of bribing police, the Telegraph reports. As for the paper’s innocent staffers? Well, check out this hilarious-yet-sad tweet for what they’re up to.
