In the NZ Herald (03.05.12), Geoffrey Robertson QC, a leading human rights lawyer and a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, writes in his article “True heroes of investigative reporting” that, in the interests of his US corporation, Rupert Murdoch ”authorised the handing over to police of all computer records for his tabloid newspapers, thus enabling the prosecution of a number of sources in the army and the police that his journalists had cultivated for public interest stories. Murdoch’s malign and self-interested behaviour put his journalists in breach of their ethical duty to their sources, but it does serve as a reminder that this duty is not absolute”.
