Newspapers ownership and conventions
The Sun Ownership-Rupert Murdoch
Background:
Rupert Murdoch was born on March 11, 1931, in Melbourne, Australia. Murdoch inherited his father's papers, the Sunday Mail and the News, and continued to purchase other media outlets over the years. In the 1970s, he started buying American newspapers. Murdoch branched out into entertainment with the purchase of 20th Century Fox Film Corp.
Political stance:
In America he is close to Donald Trump therefore a republican. In the UK he supports the political/democratic system that we have, while he dislikes the constitutional monarchy, as he is known not to like the monarchy. He has close ties to the labour party and back when Tony Blair was an MP he was a strong supporter.
Other companies that Rupert Murdoch is involved with:
Rupert Murdoch was the former CEO of 21st Century Fox, the parent of powerhouse cable TV channel Fox News, may well be the world's most powerful media tycoon. He is executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox with his son Lachlan and is also chairman of News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal and other publications. Moreover, he set up sky in 1989, however this had to be merged with rival satellite broadcaster BSB a year later.
Scandals that he has been involved in:
The News International phone-hacking scandal is a controversy involving the now defunct News of the World and other British newspapers published by News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation. Employees of the newspaper were accused of engaging in phone hacking, police bribery, and exercising improper influence in the pursuit of stories. Whilst investigations conducted from 2005 to 2007 appeared to show that the paper's phone hacking activities were limited to celebrities, politicians, and members of the British Royal Family, in July 2011 it was revealed that the phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, relatives of deceased British soldiers, and victims of the 7 July 2005 London bombings had also been hacked.
Also, UK culture secretary Karen Bradley says she intends to order an extensive review of 21st Century Fox's $15 billion planned takeover of Sky TV because of concerns over "genuine commitment to broadcasting standards" and the increased influence it would give the Murdoch family over British media.
This story has come from the independent,” The Murdoch brothers have now become the latest Hollywood figures to weigh in on the Presidents “Muslim ban”. The 21st Century Fox chiefs, James and Lachlan Murdoch, who are CEO and chairman respectively, sent a memo to employees on Monday pitting their ideals against Mr Trump's controversial immigration ban. Their firm owns Fox News which has been criticized for its overly favorable coverage of Mr Trump.”
