News Corporation

Rupert Murdoch is without question the best known media tycoon since William Randolph Hearst. Now 80, he maintains direct personal control of all aspects of his wide-ranging empire, and no one expects him to retire any time soon, at least voluntarily. Yet the phone hacking scandal at his British newspaper division, which reached a crescendo in summer 2011 and now threatens to spread to other parts of the group, constitutes the biggest threat to-date to the Murdoch family's control over their empire. Whatever the outcome, like him or loathe him, Rupert Murdoch will be a hard act to follow. His News Corporation has single-handedly defined the nature of the modern media corporation. No other group comes close to emulating its combination of broad-ranging assets and ground-breaking technology and strategy, and while other groups manage a business forged by many hands, News Corporation is very much the result of one man's personal vision. Adbrands coverage of News Corporation is split across several pages. See also Fox Entertainment Group for US entertainment assets; BSkyB for satellite broadcast in the UK.
