Who's who on Murdoch's phone list

One of the more remarkable objects on display at the Newseum, the $450m interactive museum of news and journalism in Washington that opened yesterday, is a phone once used by Rupert Murdoch. It shows his speed dial list, and BusinessWeek reporter Jon Fine took the trouble to note it down. The only British-based names among the 20 or so News Corp executives were Les Hinton, then chairman of the UK operation, and then Times editor Robert Thomson, both of whom have since been translated to the Wall Street Journal. What? No mention of Rebekah Wade, editor of The Sun? Well, Fine did admit that some names were too indistinct to make out. One of those must have been Wade's. See here for the full list.
