Rebekah Mary Brooks (née Wade; born 27 May 1968) is a British journalist and former newspaper editor.
 She was chief executive officer of News International from 2009 to 2011, having previously served as the youngest editor of a British national newspaper at "News of the World" from 2000 to 2003, and the first female editor of "The Sun" from 2003 to 2009.
 Brooks married actor Ross Kemp in 2002.
 They divorced in 2009 and she married former racehorse trainer and author Charlie Brooks.
In mid-2011, out of a series of investigations following up the "News of the World" royal phone hacking scandal of 2005–2007, a series of related scandals developed surrounding other News Corporation properties—where initially the scandal appeared contained to a single journalist at the "News of the World" (with the 2007 jailing of Clive Goodman and the resignation of then-editor Andy Coulson), investigations eventually revealed a much wider pattern of wrongdoing.
 This led to the closure of the "News of the World" on 10 July 2011, an apology by Rupert Murdoch in an advertisement in most British national newspapers, and the withdrawing of News Corporation's bid to take over the majority of BSkyB shares it did not own.
The News International phone-hacking scandal is a controversy involving the now defunct "News of the World" and other British newspapers published by News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation.
 Employees of the newspaper were accused of engaging in phone hacking, police bribery, and exercising improper influence in the pursuit of stories.
 Whilst investigations conducted from 2005 to 2007 appeared to show that the paper's phone hacking activities were limited to celebrities, politicians, and members of the British Royal Family, in July 2011 it was revealed that the phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, relatives of deceased British soldiers, and victims of the 7 July 2005 London bombings had also been hacked.
 The resulting public outcry against News Corporation and its owner Rupert Murdoch led to several high-profile resignations, including that of Murdoch as News Corporation director, Murdoch's son James as executive chairman, Dow Jones chief executive Les Hinton, News International legal manager Tom Crone, and chief executive Rebekah Brooks.
 The commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police Service, Sir Paul Stephenson, also resigned.
 Advertiser boycotts led to the closure of the "News of the World" on 10 July 2011, after 168 years of publication.
 Public pressure shortly forced News Corporation to cancel its proposed takeover of the British satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
The News Corporation takeover bid for BSkyB was a proposed takeover of British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) by News Corporation, the media conglomerate of Rupert Murdoch.
 The bid was launched in June 2010, but was withdrawn in July 2011 following the News International phone hacking scandal.
 News Corporation already owned 39.1% of BSkyB, and held on to its stake following the collapse of the takeover bid.
 The takeover was an essential part of News Corporation's business strategy, not least as it would have made possible integration with other entities such as Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia. "
The Guardian" went so far as to say that, "Without a full takeover of BSkyB, News Corp's global satellite strategy would look an unco-ordinated mess."
