Les Hinton
About
Leslie Frank "Les" Hinton (born 19 February 1944) is a British-American journalist and business executive whose career with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation spanned more than fifty years. Hinton worked in newspapers, magazines and television as a reporter, editor and executive in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and became an American citizen in 1986. He was appointed CEO of Dow Jones & Company in December 2007, after its acquisition by News Corp. Hinton has variously been described as Murdoch's "hitman"; one of his "most trusted lieutenants"; and an "astute political operator". On 15 July 2011, he resigned from Dow Jones & Co as a result of a journalistic ethics scandal at The News of the World, a British tabloid published by News Corp subsidiary, News International, where Hinton had previously been executive chairman.
