Editor Tells 'N.Y. Post' Staff Not to Destroy Hacking-Related Documents

Employees of the New York Post have received emails from editor Col Allan and their parent company's lawyers asking them to hold on to any hacking-related documents in light of the current News Corp. investigation, according to memos published by Jim Romenesko at Poynter.
