U.S. FCC not involved in review of News Corp scandal

WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) - U.S. communications regulators are not looking into News Corp (NWSA.O) and its role in a phone hacking scandal at its British newspapers.

"There is obviously a process going on in the UK, and that is not a process we expect to get involved in or interfere with," Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said during a news conference after the agency's monthly open meeting.

News Corp, in addition to its newspapers in Britain, owns the Fox television network, the Wall Street Journal and other media properties in the United States.

The agency will "do its job" if new issues arise, Genachowski said. (Reporting by Jasmin Melvin. Editing by Robert MacMillan)
