Rebekah Brooks returns as News Corp’s UK chief executive Monday Sep 07,2015

Rebekah Brooks, the former News International chief executive, arrives at the headquarters of News UK in London on September 7, 2015, to begin her new role as the company's chief executive officer (CEO)

 

British ex-editor Rebekah Brooks, the fiery redhead who resigned over a tabloid phone-hacking scandal, returned to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp as head of its UK division, News UK.


Her appointment is part of a reshuffle of News Corp’s UK operations which will include the departure of Mike Darcey, chief executive of News UK, and the appointment of a new editor of The Sun, Britain’s best-selling tabloid.

David Dinsmore, the current Sun editor, is to take a senior operational role at News UK and will work alongside Ms Brooks

The shake-up at News Corp comes with Mr Murdoch’s British tabloids struggling to regain their status as Britain’s most profitable and provocative newspapers.
Revenues at the tabloid operations have fallen 25 % since the phone-hacking scandal broke — from £654m in 2011 to £490m in the financial year that ended in June 2014
