QUT Professor Jean Burgess told Fact Check that the policy "means that simply by virtue of owning a large number of media outlets, it is possible that Murdoch outlets will have an outsized influence on an Australian consumer's access to media on controversial topics via YouTube". There is little to suggest that News Corp dominates when it comes to broadcast news audiences. [44] Although News Limited's interests are extensive, also including the Daily Telegraph, the Courier-Mail and the Adelaide Advertiser, it was suggested by the commentator Mungo MacCallum in The Monthly that "the anti-Rudd push, if coordinated at all, was almost certainly locally driven" as opposed to being directed by Murdoch, who also took a different position from local editors on such matters as climate change and stimulus packages to combat the financial crisis. [186][187] According to the spokesman, the marriage had been irretrievably broken for more than six months. Under the trust, his children by Wendi Deng share in the proceeds of the stock but have no voting privileges or control of the stock. He attended Geelong Grammar School,[25] where he was co-editor of the school's official journal The Corian and editor of the student journal If Revived. In its 2019 annual report, the ABC says it reaches 68.3 per cent of the population with its different platforms. "[101][102] On 1 May 2012, the Culture, Media and Sport Committee issued a report stating that Murdoch was "not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company". Asked about their one "main" source of news, just 6 per cent of people chose print. [72] In a later interview in July 2006, when he was asked what he thought of the Conservative leader, Murdoch replied "Not much". In a rebuttal of Kevin Rudds claim, Sally Jackson from The Australian observed that News Corp Australia accounts for 33% of the newspaper titles that have sales audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulation. [60], In response to print media's decline and the increasing influence of online journalism during the 2000s, Murdoch proclaimed his support of the micropayments model for obtaining revenue from on-line news,[61] although this has been criticised by some. How large is Rupert Murdoch's reach through News Corp in Australian media, old and new? After deciding to turn many of its local papers into digital-only publications or cut them entirely, News Corp was publishing fewer than 20 hardcopy newspapers in early 2021 (and roughly 85 digital-only titles). [175][176] Murdoch's companies published two novels by his wife: Family Business (1988) and Coming to Terms (1991). News Corp's sole television news outlet, Sky News Australia, attracts a significantly smaller audience than ABC News, the nation's only other 24-hour news channel. Murdoch formed the British broadcaster BSkyB in 1990 and, during the 1990s, expanded into Asian networks and South American television. But it isnt just the large capital cities where News Corp has a big audience it has a newspaper in nearly every state and territory, owning the major newspaper in the Northern Territory, The NT News, and Tasmanias Mercury as well as a large number of online suburban and regional titles. Kevin Rudd's claim that Rupert Murdoch "owns 70% of the newspapers in this country" is false. Measured by monthly readers, the combined reach of News Corp's hardcopy and digital newspapers is only around 7 per cent larger than Nine's, despite owning twice the number of titles. [176][177] It was revealed in September 2011 that Tony Blair is Grace's godfather. At the age of 22, Rupert Murdoch inherited a chain of Australian newspapers following the death of his father in 1952. The channel recorded 762 million views in March 2021 alone or 257 million more than ABC News. Its December 2020 data shows that news.com.au was News Corp's most popular site, which reached a little over 10 million people. A piece that appeared in this masthead by academic Rodney Tiffen, who has written extensively about Murdoch, says News Corp gains much of its power from the enthusiasm of politicians who indulge it. [19][20]:9 He is of English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry. A narrowly defined field might include only television stations or only hardcopy newspapers, for example. "The fact that there's so many markets in which there's only a News Corp local publication means that they have that added reach via commercial radio. [citation needed], The Labour Party, from when Blair became leader in 1994, had moved from the centre-left to a more centrist position on many economic issues before 1997. This put news.com.au slightly higher, in second place, while the Herald Sun dropped out of the top ten. It is also one of the driving reasons behind James Murdoch's abrupt exit from the board of News Corps parent company on July 31. Its subscriber base began to pull ahead of Channel 7 and Channel 9 from mid-2020, and by March 2021 Sky had overtaken ABC News. Readers have a still greater range of choices when it comes to online news. International media mogul Rupert Murdoch owns a number of Australia's major capital city newspapers, including The Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph and The Courier-Mail.His son, Lachlan Murdoch, is a majority shareholder in Nova, Network Ten, 93.7FM and FiveAA. And Nova Entertainment, the radio network that broadcasts Nova FM and Smooth FM across Australia, is a privately run company owned by Rupert Murdochs eldest son, Lachlan. In the second half of 2020, its Facebook posts were shared more often than any of the 65 accounts analysed by Fact Check, while news.com.au placed third, behind Daily Mail. The data provides a fuller picture of the audiences of traditional mastheads, though it does not include data for digital-only titles such as Nine's The Brisbane Times. The extent to which some of these sites either gather original material, or have the influence of the News mastheads, is certainly debatable, but the online news environment is far more diverse than that for print newspapers. Newspapers combine news reporting with commentary and analysis and this is often the sticking point among News Corps critics. [5], In 1986 Murdoch bought Misty Mountain, a Wallace Neff designed house on Angelo Drive in Beverly Hills.

[47] Ownership of The Times came to him through his relationship with Lord Thomson, who had grown tired of losing money on it as a result of an extended period of industrial action that stopped publication. [145] On 5 September 2010, Murdoch testified before the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law Membership on the "Role of Immigration in Strengthening America's Economy". And when it comes to social media, the publicly available data does not show whether users are located overseas. The Canberra University survey results show that Australians in 2020 were far more likely to get their news from free-to-air broadcasters such as ABC, Channel 7 or Channel 9 than from Sky.

Nine says it reaches 70 per cent of Australians through its television network each month. Outside the capital cities, daily publications provide competition in some regional cities. Diversity can, for example, be assessed as a share of audience or industry revenue. At the last count, in 2016, its share of circulation among national and capital city dailies was 65 per cent, and likely similar for regional papers. - Ben Goldsmith. A four-way battle for control ensued in which the 32-year-old Murdoch was ultimately successful. Blair tried to win over News Corps UK tabloid The Sun before he was elected in 1997). [49][50], During the 1980s and early 1990s, Murdoch's publications were generally supportive of Britain's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. After his father 's death in 1952, Murdoch took over the running of The News, a small Adelaide newspaper owned by his father. Whether News Corp can overthrow a prime minister could also be contested. Fact Check has also considered Facebook shares over the six months to January 2021. Social media sites such as Facebook and tech giants such as Google have changed the way consumers read news, and the internet has allowed people to access articles from international news outlets. [143], In the 2012 US presidential election, Murdoch was critical of the competence of Mitt Romney's team but was nonetheless strongly supportive of a Republican victory, tweeting: "Of course I want him [Romney] to win, save us from socialism, etc. In 2020, the University of Canberra's News & Media Research Centre reported that just 25 per cent of news consumers got their news from a newspaper. According to its website, VOZ began producing test data in 2020 which is not yet publicly available. New York, July 2003).

[107] The six television stations owned by Metromedia formed the nucleus of the Fox Broadcasting Company, founded on 9 October 1986, which later had great success with programs including The Simpsons and The X-Files. Many on the political left in Britain alleged the collusion of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government with Murdoch in the Wapping affair, as a way of damaging the British trade union movement. Particularly in Adelaide and Brisbane, where there's only one daily newspaper the influence of whoever owns that newspaper is enhanced.". Today its very different. Despite efforts, Rupert Murdoch was unsuccessful and News Corp has not gained much from this change. [clarification needed] He worked part-time at the Melbourne Herald and was groomed by his father to take over the family business. [107] Rupert Murdoch bought the stations by himself, without Marvin Davis, and later bought out Davis's remaining stake in Fox for $325 million. [91] After an initial refusal, the Murdochs confirmed they would attend, after the committee issued them a summons to Parliament. The Partnership's immigration policy prescriptions are notably similar to those of the Cato Institute and the US Chamber of Commerce both of which Murdoch has supported in the past.

Across all major and regional dailies the picture would have likely been similar, with the Finkelstein review into media regulation reporting that News Corp accounted for 58 per cent of the nation's daily newspaper circulation in 2011. Rupert Murdoch, the patriarch of the family, inherited a chain of Australian newspapers from his father, who was a war reporter turned publisher, in 1952. According to the Finkelstein Review of Media and Media Regulation, in 2011 News Corp Australia (then News Limited) accounted for 23% of the newspaper titles in Australia. He was a member of the Oxford University Labour Party,[21]:34[28] stood for Secretary of the Labour Club[29] and managed Oxford Student Publications Limited, the publishing house of Cherwell. In Australia, he owns 14 of 21 metropolitan daily and weekend newspapers, plus radio stations, TV channel Sky News Australia and top-read site news.com.au. Guardian Australia was the sole "digital native" to make the top ten other than News Corp and ABC brands, though the data does not include "offline" audiences for other television or newspaper brands.

While they adopt different methodologies and cover only a selection of titles, each estimates how many people, on average, read a particular print publication a measure referred to as "average issue readership". [116], In 2004, Murdoch announced that he was moving News Corporation headquarters from Adelaide, Australia to the United States. It was in 1984 that the network proceeded to drop the "Network 7" branding. In 2007, after backing prime minister John Howard for years, The Daily Telegraph splashed with the headline "Sydney walks away from PM". Who owns the Sunday Times in WA? I always get into trouble when I do that." Murdoch has six children in all, and is grandfather to thirteen grandchildren. ARN stations topped the rankings in Adelaide and Melbourne, while Nova took out first place in Sydney and Brisbane and the Nova-ARN joint venture ranked first in Perth. At that time, SCMP group was a stock-listed company, and was owned by HSBC, Hutchison Whampoa and Dow Jones & Company. After the Keating government relaxed media ownership laws, in 1986 Murdoch launched a takeover bid for The Herald and Weekly Times, which was the largest newspaper publisher in Australia. Fifteen years after taking over the family business and following a series of acquisitions, Murdoch had amassed a portfolio of newspapers . (The Australian, 15 July 1964, first edition, front page: "Strain in Cabinet, Liberal-CP row flares.") On acquiring it, he appointed Albert 'Larry' Lamb as editor and Lamb recalled later told him: "I want a tearaway paper with lots of tits in it". Most of Murdochs publications are in his native Australia. The Canberra University survey suggests News Corp owned five of the 10 most popular Australian digital news brands in 2020, based on the number of people who accessed news sources over a one-week period. That problem is exacerbated in an environment where there's increasing digital reach and people get their news not just directly from the news supplier but from digital platforms. Murdoch's deal, therefore, was extremely attractive. Kevin Rudd's claim that Rupert Murdoch "owns 70% of the newspapers in this country" is false.
