Rupert Murdoch has stepped down as chairman of both Fox and News Corp. He will hand over to his son, but remain involved as an emeritus chairman. Many believe the move may change the face of media and politics around parts of the world.
There have been mixed reactions to the news that Australian media magnate Rupert Murdoch has announced his retirement.
52-year-old Lachlan Murdoch is taking over as chairman of News Corp and continuing as chief executive of Fox. Margaret Simons is an Honorary Principal Fellow at the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advancing Journalism."A recent biography of Lachlan Murdoch by Paddy Manning suggested that he is much more driven by profit rather than by politics. Others suggest that he's even more right wing than his father. We'll have to see."
