Rupert Murdoch's career

Rupert Murdoch began his career in Australia in the 1950s. He is one of the most influential, successful and controversial personalities in media. Murdoch inherited a small Australian newspaper from his father in 1952. He rapidly expanded and entered television. Murdoch entered the UK market in the 1960s, buying newspapers such as the News of the World and The Sun and turning them into sensationalist tabloids. Murdoch became a US citizen in 1985 to facilitate his expansion into the American media.

In 2011, the News of the World covered the hacking of phones of politicians, celebrities and even crime victims. The scandal led to the newspaper's closure and Murdoch's reputation was tarnished. Murdoch's outlets, particularly Fox News, have been accused of heavily biased reporting, promoting conservative viewpoints, and often spreading misinformation. Last year Rupert Murdoch sold his entire company

He handed the reins to his son Lachlan and later took on the role of honorary chairman of both Fox and News Corporation.
