Examines Lachlan Murdoch's strengthened control and governance shifts reshaping News Corp and Fox.
Fox Corporation, established in 2019 following the $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company, is a leading American multinational media company headquartered in New York City. It was formed as a spin-off to retain 21CF's television broadcasting, news, and sports assets not acquired by Disney[1][4]. Controlled by media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s family, with Lachlan Murdoch as chairman and CEO, Fox Corp’s portfolio includes flagship brands such as Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox News Media, Fox Sports, Fox Entertainment, Fox Television Stations, and the streaming service Tubi[1][4][6].
