News Corp.’s James Murdoch resigned as director from three additional boards as he’s cutting his ties to the company’s U.K. newspaper division amid a phone-hacking scandal.
Murdoch stepped down on March 21 from the board of Times Newspapers Holdings, a body created by his father Rupert to guarantee the Times’ editorial independence after he bought the newspaper in 1981, according to a filing to the U.K.’s Companies House. He also resigned as director of Newscorp Investments and News International Publishers Limited, two units of News Corp.’s U.K. division.
