I wrote the other week about Rupert Murdoch's newspaper outfit, News UK, being reborn by putting a digital smile on Wapping's face.Now, with the company's move to London Bridge in mind, the publisher has put a smile on the face of Southwark Cathedral by donating £1,000 to its All Hallows community project.The donation coincided with News UK holding its annual lunchtime carol service at the church. According to a News UK press release, it was attended by 200 employees including chief executive Mike Darcey as well as editors from its "famous Sun, Times and Sunday Times newspapers."

The point of the exercise is altogether more subtle than that. It just wants to be seen as just like any other City-based corporate entity, investing a sliver of its profits in the local community.It is further proof of the company's continuing transformation after years of scandal, and its wish to put the past behind it (future court cases notwithstanding).But I couldn't let the Christmas concert pass without...
