Rupert Murdoch resigns as News International director

A spokesman said: "Last week, Mr Murdoch stepped down from a number of boards, many of them small subsidiary boards, both in the UK and US.

"This is nothing more than a corporate house-cleaning exercise prior to the company split."

Media commentator Steve Hewlett told the BBC it was "no surprise" News Corporation was moving away from its newspaper investments.
