鲁珀特·默多克(Rupert Murdoch)将卸任福克斯(Fox News)母公司及新闻集团(News Corp)的领导职务,把权力交给儿子拉克兰·默多克(Lachlan Murdoch)。
福克斯公司周四表示,默多克将成为两家公司的名誉董事长,这一决定在11月份的董事会上生效。他的儿子拉克兰·默多克将出任新闻集团董事长,并继续担任福克斯公司首席执行官。AAP除了福克斯新闻,他还创办了福克斯广播网络,凭借《辛普森一家(The Simpsons)》等节目,首次成功撼动了美国广播公司(American Broadcasting Company,简称ABC)、CBS广播公司(简称CBS)和全国广播公司(National Broadcasting Company,简称NBC)的地位。2019年,他将许多娱乐资产出售给迪士尼公司 (The Walt Disney Company),这包括电影制作权、漫威漫画版权、《国家地理杂志(National Geographic)》和有线电视网络FX。这个24小时播出的电视网将政治讨论的力量从广播转移到到电视上。六年内,它的收视率超过了有线电视新闻网(Cable News Network,简称CNN)和微软-全国广播公司(Microsoft...
但福克斯今年的日子并不好过。它被迫支付7.87亿美元(约合12.3亿澳元),以了结与2020年美国总统大选后有关的诽谤诉讼。不久之后,福克斯解雇了其最受欢迎的节目主持人之一——塔克·卡尔森(Tucker Carlson)。“我们的公司就是我们的社区,而我将是我们社区的积极成员。我将以批判的眼光关注我们的广播,充满兴致地阅读我们地报纸、网站和书籍。”具有讽刺意味的是,下周,作家、默多克传记的作者迈克尔·沃尔夫(Michael Wolff)将出版一本名为《福克斯新闻的终结(The End of Fox News)》的书,推测当默多克离去后,福克斯新闻将发生什么。 据称,默多克及其家人,尤其是他的子女詹姆斯(James Murdoch)、拉克兰、伊丽莎白(Elisabeth Murdoch)和普鲁登斯(Prudence Murdoch),是 HBO 戏剧《接班人(Succession)》的原型。据《福布斯(Forbes)》估计,2020年,默多克家族的净资产约为190亿美元(约合300亿澳元)。他与唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的关系错综复杂。沃尔夫在 2018 年报道称,默多克曾称特朗普为 “白痴(idiot)”,还加上了一个脏话以示强调,但福克斯新闻的受众大多是特朗普的支持者。几十年来,默多克也一直是英国最有影响力的媒体人之一。他在1969年买下小报《世界新闻报(News of the...
新闻集团旗下拥有英国报纸《泰晤士报(Times)》、《星期日泰晤士报(Sunday Times)》和《太阳报(Sun)》,但《世界新闻报》已经停刊,默多克也因未能完全控制天空新闻台而出售了其40%的股份。
