James Murdoch has left the boards of operating companies overseeing News Corp.'s U.K. newspapers the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times, according to British regulatory filings, which registered the changes in September.
英国监管备案资料显示，詹姆斯•默多克(James Murdoch)在9月份就已经离开负责运营新闻集团(News Corp.)旗下英国报纸《太阳报》(Sun)、泰晤士报(Times)和《星期日泰晤士报》的几家公司的董事会。
Mr. Murdoch, News Corp.'s deputy chief operating officer, resigned from the boards of a number of subsidiary companies of News International, the media conglomerate's U.K. newspaper unit. But he remains the News International chairman and a director of the holding company for the Times and the Sunday Times.
身为新闻集团副首席运营长的詹姆斯•默多克已从新闻国际(News International)几家子公司的董事会辞职，但他仍是新闻国际董事长，以及《泰晤士报》和《星期日泰晤士报》控股公司的董事。新闻国际是新闻集团的英国报业子公司。
News Corp. appointed Mr. Murdoch deputy chief operating officer in March, a job change that will see him move to New York from London but retain oversight over the company's operations in Europe and Asia. News Corp. tapped Tom Mockridge in July to become chief executive of News International, after Rebekah Brooks resigned as head of the unit, in the midst of a scandal over voicemail interception at News Corp.'s now-closed News of the World tabloid.
新闻集团今年3月份任命詹姆斯•默多克担任副首席运营长，担任此职后，他将从伦敦搬到纽约，同时仍旧负责新闻集团在欧洲和亚洲的运营。今年7月份，在瑞贝卡•布鲁克斯(Rebekah Brooks)因《世界新闻报》(News of the World)窃听丑闻辞去新闻国际首席执行长一职之后，新闻集团任命汤姆•莫克里奇(Tom Mockridge)担任这家公司的首席执行长。《世界新闻报》是新闻集团旗下的一份小报，现已关闭。
News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
新闻集团拥有《华尔街日报》。
Mr. Murdoch has faced scrutiny from lawmakers in the U.K. over his handling of that scandal, which has led to the News of the World's closure and three ongoing criminal investigations into the tabloid's behavior.
詹姆斯•默多克对窃听丑闻的处理曾招致英国议员质疑。丑闻导致《世界新闻报》关闭，并引发三起针对该报行为的刑事调查，调查仍在进行中。
'I behaved reasonably given the information I had,' Mr. Murdoch said in a testimony to U.K. lawmakers earlier this month.
詹姆斯•默多克本月早些时候对英国议员作证说，考虑到当时了解到的信息，我的行为是合理的。
A spokesman for News International called the changes a tidying up operation related to Mr. Murdoch's move to New York and Mr. Mockridge's appointment as chief executive of News International. Mr. Mockridge is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the British newspapers; he reports to Mr. Murdoch, who has continued to oversee the U.K. newspaper unit as chairman. Mr. Mockridge has joined the boards Mr. Murdoch has left.
新闻国际一位发言人说，詹姆斯•默多克从几家公司董事会辞职的变动是一场清理行动，跟他搬到纽约、莫克里奇被任命为新闻国际CEO有关。莫克里奇负责新闻集团旗下英国报纸的日常运营，向詹姆斯•默多克报告。詹姆斯•默多克继续以董事长身份负责新闻国际。莫克里奇已经加入詹姆斯•默多克离开的几个董事会。
