Rupert Murdoch: 1931-1969

Murdoch doesn’t really need much of an introduction- we all know about Murdoch, we all know how powerful and influential he has been throughout his life- but in this episode we look at the very beginnings, the influence of his father, a powerful newspaper executive. We see how young Murdoch started with just 2 newspapers, was underestimated from the get go but battled his way to the top of the media business in Australia by the age of 37 before setting his sights on the UK- it’s a cracking story, enjoy.
