Murdoch vows News Corp 'integrity' as profits rise to $2.74bn

Rupert Murdoch has said he will do “whatever is necessary” to prevent the phone hacking scandal occurring again, as his News Corporation conglomerate reported a rise in annual profits to $2.74bn.

The media mogul said the scandal, which saw the closure of the News of the World last month, had seen no impact on the other arms of the business.
