Media Brief

I'm the BBC's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on.

The Telegraph reports that the Government is to scrap three-quarters of its websites to save £100m, according to Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude.

Ten million viewers saw England beat Slovenia to go through to the last 16 in the World Cup, the BBC reports.

There were queues in many cities yesterday for Apple's new iPhone4, and some complaints about the price according to the Daily Mail. But the BBC says some people have reported an apparent fault.

The Guardian reports that the BBC Trust has ruled that Radio 1's Harry Potter Day gave undue prominence to the release of the film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, breaching editorial guidelines. Commercial radio said the BBC had "fallen under the spell of celebrity" and been "hijacked" by a commercial product.

The BBC's newspaper review says the government's changes to the age at which men will receive the state pension is widely discussed in Friday's papers.
