Journalists strike back after arrests

Journalists from Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun have contacted a trade union to discuss suing the tabloid’s owners, the union said, after five staff were arrested in a police bribery probe.

The news comes as Murdoch is due to visit London today to meet Sun journalists, after promising to continue publishing Britain’s top-selling daily despite the controversy.

The Australian-born tycoon shut down The Sun’s weekly stablemate, the News of the World, in July after it became embroiled in a phone-hacking scandal.
