- Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of media titan Rupert Murdoch, was named the sole chairman of News Corp and will continue as the chair and chief executive of Fox Corp, the companies said Thursday, settling for now the issue of succession in one of the world’s most powerful media empires.
The best way to capture their father’s attention in the evenings was to talk about media or politics, according to Paddy Manning’s 2022 biography, “The Successor.” As Lachlan got older, he would spend summers working in the family business, cleaning the presses for Sydney’s “Daily Mirror,” or working as a cub reporter for the “San Antonio Express-News.”
After graduating in 1994 from Princeton, where he majored in philosophy, Lachlan entered the family business, spending three years in Australia, ascending the corporate ladder to become chairman of News Limited.Lachlan returned to New York to join News Corp. He rose to deputy chief operating officer, overseeing the company’s U.S. television stations group and publishing assets, including the New York Post. Many saw him as being trained to assume the corporate reins as his father’s successor.
