Detectives investigating phone hacking at News International have arrested a 31-year-old woman.

The woman is believed to be Bethany Usher, a former journalist who had bylines in a number of national newspapers between 2005 and 2008.

Usher is now senior lecturer in media and journalism at Teesside University. The university said: "It would be inappropriate to comment on any ongoing police investigation."

Her Teesside University biography says she worked in the newspaper industry for seven years, working for two Sunday newspapers and becoming northern editor. She was named young journalist of the year in 2003.
