Last Edition of News of the World
This is the final edition of the News of the World newspaper, published on July 10th, 2011. A landmark publication in British journalism, this tabloid newspaper was a staple of Sunday reading for over 168 years. This particular copy represents the culmination of its history, marking the end of an era for both the publication and its readership. The front page features bold headlines announcing its closure, alongside extensive coverage of the phone hacking scandal that led to its demise.
