LONDON (Dow Jones)--News Corp. (NWS) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rupert Murdoch may meet with some of the victims of alleged phone hacking by its News of the World tabloid.
Speaking on BBC radio, a possible victim of hacking said he would like to meet Murdoch to talk to him about "the power he has." Graham Foulkes son David died in terrorist attacks in London on July 7, 2005. Also speaking to the BBC, the director of corporate affairs at News Corp's UK newspaper publishing arm News International said that may be possible.
"It's something we would consider, yes," Simon Greenberg said.
The News of the World reporting scandal has swelled in recent days as allegations about the possible hacking of a dead teenager's phone unleashed public outrage and placed the company's top U.K. newspaper executive under pressure. The Daily Telegraph Wednesday said it had learnt that U.K. police were also contacting the families of victims of the July 7, 2005 terrorist bombings amid alleged fears they may also have been targeted. It didn't quote any sources.
News Corp. also owns Dow Jones & Co., the publisher of this newswire and The Wall Street Journal.
