Andy Coulson is a journalist and media strategist who served as Director of Communications to Prime Minister David Cameron from May 2011 until his resignation on 21 January 2011. He is a former editor of the News of the World.
Phone Tapping Scandal
In 2005 Coulson was the editor of The News of the World when the Sunday newspaper was involved in a phone tapping scandal involving reporters hacking into the mobile phones of members of the Royal family. According to allegations published in the New York Times:
- Andy Coulson, the top editor at the time, had imposed a hypercompetitive ethos, even by tabloid standards. One former reporter called it a “do whatever it takes” mentality. The reporter was one of two people who said Coulson was present during discussions about phone hacking. Coulson ultimately resigned but denied any knowledge of hacking[1].
