Rupert Murdoch, the Australian press baron who reshaped conservative media in his image, plans to step down as chairman of Fox Corporation and News Corporation.. Murdoch’s older son, Lachlan, will become the sole chairman of both firms.
“In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas,” he later added. The media titan’s most lasting legacy will almost certainly be Fox News, the 24/7 network he founded in 1996 as a competitor to CNN. The channel cultivated a devoted audience in the decades to come, establishing itself as a pillar of the modern conservative movement.
