Abstract
With the News of the World closure announced yesterday, it seems that Newscorp may have finally caught up with the public mood and are trying to get a grip on the narrative of this crisis, writes Charlie Beckett. But this move also marks a key moment in the balance between the news media and authority, with journalists now fearing that they will be subject to calls for wider restrictions on their legitimate role in holding power to account.
