The Hacked Off campaign is pleased to learn that the Dowler family have reached a settlement with News Corporation. The family have been through a terrible ordeal, made worse by the revelations of phone hacking of the News of the World, and this is a welcome signal of remorse from News Corporation.It would have been more welcome still had it not come almost a decade after the original incident and only as a result of the exposure of phone hacking through dogged journalism (not by News International), and despite what appeared to be a lengthy attempted cover-up by News Corporation.We also wait to hear about the nature of the settlement with the other alleged 4,000 victims of phone hacking identified by Operation Weeting, most of whom are yet to discover that they were targeted.
