When it comes to news stories, size matters. The stark contrast between the defiant front-page splash about Rebekah Brooks' being found 'not guilty' and the tiny footnote on a hidden page about new charges brought again Andy Coulson tells you all you need to know about the red tops' priorities.The phone-hacking trial was one of the longest and most expensive criminal trials in English history.The phone-hacking trial established that of the eight journalists charged with hacking, six were found, or pleaded, guilty.And it was the phone-hacking trial that saw a former editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, convicted of conspiracy to hack phones. It is this man, Coulson, now serving an 18 month-sentence for that crime, who has now been charged with perjury over evidence he gave in the trial of a Scottish politician.Most people would think that was news.But looking at this tiny entry, it's almost as if Murdoch's papers didn't want you to know about it... Not to mention that twelve more trials of News International (now rebranded News UK) journalists are currently scheduled. Who would've thought?
