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.
Hinton, the son of a British Army chef, was born in Bootle, a working-class area of Lancashire. He travelled with his family as his father was posted around the world, attending Army schools in Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Germany, and Singapore, as well as Liverpool. He had little formal education after failing his Eleven-plus, and in 1959 left school at the age of 15 and emigrated to Australia.
Murdoch's Right-Hand Man Quits Over Scandal. The phone-hacking scandal has claimed its biggest victim so far - one of Rupert Murdoch's most trusted executives, Les Hinton.

The move came after former News Of The World editor Rebekah Brooks bowed to pressure by quitting her role as NI chief executive. Ms Brooks was at the helm of NOTW - owned by NI - when missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone was hacked and messages were deleted. She was later found murdered. Mr Hinton and Ms Brooks' resignations intensified the 'media storm' surrounding NI - with Mr Murdoch putting his name to an apology printed in newspapers for "serious wrong-doi...
