It is a retreat in installments. According to a report of the financial news channel CNBC of media mogul Rupert Murdoch wants to hand over the chairmanship of 21st Century Fox to his son James. He would continue to work closely with James and his second son Lachlan. Murdoch’s role should in future only the executive heads of the Board of Directors be. An official confirmation is far from.
Murdoch, the now 84-year-old billionaire, will continue to hold the reins of his empire in his hand, forecasted US media Just after the announcement of the forthcoming restructuring at the top of the group. For Murdoch’s empire includes TV stations, film studios, a stake in the pay-TV broadcaster Sky and the media holding News Corp., are one of the British newspapers like the London “Times”. Taken together, the surgically separated 21st Century Fox and News Corp. the fourth largest media company in the world.
Murdoch is also “Shark” and “predator” called
The Australian-born Murdoch has throughout his impressive career of the press numerous nicknames been awarded, including “Citizen Murdoch” (in reference to the movie “Citizen Kane”), “The Predator” and “The Shark”. His rise to the tycoon of the media industry spans more than half a century. It was 1952 when Murdoch “News Adelaide” inherited from his father the newspaper. For decades, its expansionism knew no limits.
One of his greatest defeats had to take Murdoch last year. The acquisition of Time Warner would have crowned his life’s work, on the table were reportedly $ 80 billion. Nothing came of the planned coup, Time Warner did not respond to the offer, and Murdoch withdrew again. Excluded is not that the plan is retrieved at a later time again from the drawer.
In Germany, Murdoch for many years was not pursued by happiness. The publisher Hubert Burda 1990 he brought a tabloid called “Super” on the market – and failed. Shares in the TV channel Vox, he sold a few years. And with its participation in the pay-TV broadcaster Premiere continued the businessman for many years only losses. Only with the renamed Sky Germany and a changed strategy came the offer in recent years in driving.
Spectacular acquisitions are to the liking of Murdoch. In 2007, he swallowed the US media company Dow Jones, which includes the “Wall Street Journal”. Murdoch’s group for paid around five billion dollars. For a long time also have an interest in the “New York Times” was said to him. In 2005, his group snatched the then hyped online music platform MySpace -. Which had to be resold barely six years later for a fraction of the purchase price
wiretapping scandal in the UK
A good image Murdoch had never, but the so-called phone-hacking scandal, the public in 2011, is a deep dark spot in Murdoch’s Vita. The British Murdoch newspaper “News of the World” has been demonstrated that reporter celebrities and other people had systematically monitored via their mobile phone mailboxes. There was a hearing before the British House of Commons, when Rupert and his son James had to answer questions. The patriarch publicly apologized, asked “News of the World” a, the planned full takeover of the pay-TV broadcaster BSkyB said again. As CEO and Chairman of the Board of Fox, Murdoch was however confirmed despite the scandal.
From his third wife Wendi Deng, who had not defended him at the hearing with a fist against a pie throw ends attacker Murdoch had last year divorced. Deng was rumored an affair with the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. With the Chinese entrepreneur has “Rupe”, as he is called by companions, two children.
All the signs now indicate that Rupert Murdoch was born Keith, assigned on 11 March 1931 life and work. An obituary would therefore clearly premature. The “Shark”, so much can speculate is not of one or the other Coup dream.
