Stephenson's resignation followed mounting criticism that reporters at British conglomerate News International's now-closed News of the World bribed UK police officers (WashPost)
The scandal has threatened to bring down News International's parent company: media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Two of the company's most senior executives (Bloomberg)

Analysis:
David Cameron's friendship with Rebekah Brooks and employment of Andy Coulson puts him at the center of the phone-hacking story, writes the Daily Telegraph.
The Guardian's Duncan Campbell says the Metropolitan Police is at the heart of the phone-hacking scandal, and calls on former police chief Stephenson to tell his story.
News Corporation looks likely to weather its scandal
