Alan Rusbridger on Prince Harry’s settlement with Rupert Murdoch | Media Confidential Extra

Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers has finally admitted that unlawful behaviour was carried out by private investigators working for the Sun and the News Of The World.

They’ve offered “a full and unequivocal apology” to Prince Harry for illegally obtaining private information about him—and have agreed to a staggering eight-figure settlement.

So, is that the end of the matter, or is there still more to come? Has Murdoch's company got off lightly?

In this bonus YouTube episode of Media Confidential, Prospect’s Benjamin Clark sits down with Alan Rusbridger to discuss. Prior to editing Prospect, Alan was editor of the Guardian when its reporter Nick Davies broke the original phone hacking story. Few people know this story as intimately as Alan, so he proves an invaluable guide.
