Rupert and James Murdoch to appear again at judicial enquiry
Rupert Murdoch has been told by the Leveson Inquiry that he must appear next Thursday to face a day of questions from Lord Leveson, a senior British judge.
Lawyers representing victims of alleged widespread phone-hacking, attributed to News Limited reporters and staff, will question Mr Murdoch.
Murdoch is the CEO of the Global media organization News Corporation.
Mr. Murdoch's youngest son, James Murdoch, 39, is also set to appear before the inquiry on Tuesday.
James Murdoch is deputy to his father at News Corp.
The inquiry was set up by British Prime Minister David Cameron after the phone-hacking scandal that led to the closure of the News Of The World in July 2011.
