Rupert Murdoch's career

Rupert Murdoch started his career in Australia in the 1950s. He is one of the most influential, successful and controversial figures in the media. Murdoch inherited a tabloid Australian newspaper from his father in 1952. He quickly expanded the circulation of the newspaper and entered the television sector. Murdoch entered the UK media market in the 1960s, with Rupert Murdoch buying major 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 American media.

2011 Controversy

In 2011, news broke that politicians, celebrities and crime victims' phones had been hacked by the News of the World. The scandal led to the closure of the News of the World newspaper and tarnished Murdoch's reputation.

Murdoch's outlets, particularly Fox News, have been accused of heavily biased reporting, promoting conservative viewpoints and often spreading misinformation. Last year, Rupert Murdoch handed over the reins of his company to his son Lachlan, who later took on the role of honorary chairman of both Fox and News Corp.
