U.S. Investors Urged to Vote Against News Corp. Directors

As the News Corp. annual meeting approaches, shareholders are being advised to vote against the reelection of a number of current board members who appear to have been asleep at the wheel. On Friday, Glass Lewis, one of the top independent proxy advisory services in the United States, recommended that investors use their votes to keep six of the company's directors from serving further terms. In light of the phone hacking scandal that has plagued the company with intense legal and media scrutiny for three months, shareholders are being urged to push for proper oversight from the company’s board going forward.
