Audiences tend to respond to the new media by replicating their emotions upon the internet, as they tend to use social networking in a way to be heard and for people to have an outburst or a set out a moral panic within society. One major issue that has stricken the media world is the phone hacking scandal within News Corporation. This had set journalist around the world and institutions had worried, however they blamed News Corporation had fallen as they had fallen guilty for hacking into people’s phones and going against privacy rights, so that they could get their exclusive stories to sell papers across the nation. This then rippled and then further issues must of been done, therefore they done more research and they found that James Murdoch, Son of Rupert Murdoch (owner of News Corp) had been involved, which had meant that stakeholder and shareholders could strip him from his ability to take over the company after Rupert Murdoch leaves.
Furthermore this had also set out the Leveson Inquiry. This is where there was an eruption of people standing for their rights and fighting for their personal freedom as journalist, and editors have crossed the point where they are disrupting people’s lives and, stooped to a level where they have gone into J.K Rowling’s child’s bag and slipped a note into her bag, to pass messages to the writer herself. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/series/leveson-inquiry-live
