About Me

Rupert Murdoch built a media empire that includes cable channel Fox News, The Times of London and The Wall Street Journal. He stepped down as chairman in September 2023. Murdoch sold most of Fox's movie studio, FX, and National Geographic Networks and its stake in Star India to Disney for $71.3 billion in March 2019. Murdoch's son, Lachlan, runs the new Fox, which consists of its broadcast, cable news, business and sports networks. Though several of his companies are known for their conservative tilt, he initially urged Mike Bloomberg to run for president against Donald Trump. A native of Australia, Murdoch inherited a newspaper at age 22 after his father, a former war correspondent, passed away.
