The biggest story in media right now has nothing to do with sexting. But recently, Rupert Murdoch has been trying to change those plans, and pass along full control to Lachlan Murdoch, who now has the CEO title at both News Corp and Fox.

☆ Why the Murdoch family is secretly battling over succession in an obscure Nevada court

Last year, Falconi successfully petitioned the Nevada Supreme Court, which ruled that the public has a constitutional right to access Family Court cases. While the court is scheduled to hold evidentiary hearings next week, a decision from the court on media access could come at any time. If a judge does agree to unseal the case, it could have major ripple effects for Nevada family courts. Some have argued that sealing family court cases helps protect the privacy of vulnerable people. Falconi is not working with the media coalition, but said he hopes the national media attention on the Murdoch case will tangentially help his mission.

Murdoch is one of the most powerful and influential media titans of the modern age. The palace intrigue inside the Murdoch family has often lent itself to breathless public fascination, inspiring the HBO series “Succession” and behind-the-scenes books. The family is divided partly by differences in political opinion — and how those beliefs could shape the future of its sprawling media empire. Lachlan Murdoch, who took over as chairman of Fox Corp. and News Corp. last September, tends to be more aligned with his father’s conservative worldview. James Murdoch, Elisabeth Murdoch and Prudence Murdoch are believed to be more politically moderate.

☆ Elisabeth Murdoch va dona 4 milioane de dolari pentru a promova diversitatea rasială în arta britanică

Elisabeth Murdoch va dona 3 milioane de lire sterline (4 milioane de dolari) pentru a promova diversitatea rasială în artele vizuale britanice ca parte a sumei de 100 de milioane de dolari pe care fiica magnatului media Rupert Murdoch dorește să o aloce acestui sector, relatează vineri Reuters, preluat de AGERPRES. Suma de 4 milioane de dolari, ce urmează să fie acordată prin intermediul Freelands Foundation, este oferită după o donație similară făcută mai devreme în acest an în sprijinul artiștilor și a organizațiilor pe perioada pandemiei de COVID-19. Elisabeth Murdoch, care a încercat să stea departe de ochii presei spre deosebire de frații ei Lachlan și James, a înființat fundația în 2015 pentru a direcționa fonduri, în special în afara Londrei. Fondatoarea a două companii de producție TV independente de succes, Elisabeth Murdoch a declarat că sectorul creativ, industria cu cea mai rapidă creștere din Marea Britanie, va intra în declin în timp dacă nu va beneficia de aportul femeilor, a minoritățile etnice și a celor din medii mai sărace. "Accesul la o educație creativă și la o viață culturală bogată... are impact asupra mobilității sociale viitoare, asupra sănătății mentale și știm că arta și cultura lărgesc orizonturile", a declarat Elisabeth Murdoch într-un interviu pentru Reuters.
