The Making of Murdoch: Power, Politics and What Shaped the Man Who Owns the Media de Tom Roberts

The Making of Murdoch: Power, Politics and What Shaped the Man Who Owns the Media

Autor Tom Roberts
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 ian 2020
Rupert Murdoch's extraordinary career has no parallel. His control of Fox news, which so successfully supports the Trump presidency, is a key force in American politics. In the UK, his control of The Sun and The Times leaves politicians scrambling to get him onside. But what do we know about the man himself? This book looks closely at the Murdochs, focusing on Rupert's father Keith, who built the family's media power and cultivated the anti-establishment instincts that his son Rupert is known for. Roberts traces the life of the Murdochs, how Rupert Murdoch's view of the world was formed, and assesses it's impact on the media that influences our politics today.

Recenzii

To unpeel the layers of 'the man who owns the media', it's difficult to think of someone more qualified than Tom Roberts ... Here, Roberts again applies his forensic approach and scholarly rigour.
The Making of Murdoch is the essential prequel to one of the great media and succession stories of our time. Tom Roberts' rigorous research shows how the life and times of Sir Keith Murdoch set his son Rupert on course to bestride print and television in three continents of the English speaking world from Adelaide to London to New York. How did a well-connected and Oxford-educated scion of the British Empire come to create the tabloid Sun newspaper and Fox News Channel? Roberts unearths the roots of the Murdoch story for good or bad. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the media today.
'This outstanding book holds the key to understanding not just Rupert Murdoch, but also the brutal power of modern media.'
[Includes] compelling material about Keith's journalistic flaws.
