    Rupert Murdoch tells staff report is 'opportunity to reflect on mistakes'

    Read Murdoch’s email to staff in full:

    The tycoon, strongly criticised along with his son James by the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee, said in an emailed statement sent to employees on Tuesday that the company had “gone beyond what law enforcement authorities have asked of us” to ensure it met both the law and ethical standards.

    The covers the New Yorker rejected For every distinctive illustration that the New Yorker puts on its cover each week, there are scores of ideas, sketches and fully realised designs that don’t make the cut. Since 1993, when Françoise Mouly became art editor of the magazine, she has been collecting these never-rans – often rejected for being too outrageous – on her office wall. Now Mouly, who founded RAW magazine with her graphic novelist husband, Art Spiegelman, in the 80s, has gathered them into a coffee-table book called Blown Covers. Here she picks four favourite cover sketches that are as acute as they are provocative, and explains why they never made the newsstands. Every cover is a Rorschach test. Zohar Lazar’s image of gay U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan kissing can be seen as either a celebration of tolerance in a repressibe place or an example of America imposing its values where they are not welcome - or both Photograph: Zohar Lazar/New Yorker
