But at Fox News, they gossip about the Murdochs, the family who controls Fox’s parent company. What will happen after patriarch Rupert Murdoch dies? Could Lachlan’s younger brother James Murdoch force Fox to take a progressive bent? Rupert Murdoch, 93, is seeking to amend the family trust that he established decades ago, giving his four oldest children equal votes over the future of his conservative media empire after he dies. Under the current terms, Lachlan, James, Elisabeth and Prudence Murdoch each have equal voting rights after their father dies.

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.

Over the years, Murdoch's family has also risen into the spotlight — accompanied by stories of vindictive business tactics and inter-family rivalries. WHO IS LACHLAN MURDOCH? Lachlan has been CEO for Fox Corp. since 2019, following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox. Lachlan rose to executive ranks of the family business, then known collectively as News Corp, in the 1990s and early 2000s. James Murdoch is Lachlan's younger brother, also among the children from their father's second marriage.
