Lachlan Murdoch describes ’emotional’ return to News Corp, drives print future line
News Corp ‘Come together Event’ for Business and Media.
(L-R) CEO News Corp (Aus) Julian Clarke, Co- Chairman News Corp, Lachlan Murdoch, Sarah Murdoch, Foxtel Australi,a Richard Freudenstein, CEO News Corp (US) Robert Thomson.
Lachlan Murdoch has delivered his first public speech since rejoining News Corp outlining his reasons for returning to the company after an absence of almost a decade and reiterating the company’s commitment to print and “quality journalism”.
Murdoch parted ways with the company in 2005 after his father Rupert Murdoch allegedly failed to back him in a power struggle with senior executives Roger Ailes and Peter Chernin over the company’s direction.
Last night Murdoch fronted the second News Corp ‘upfronts’ presentation in Melbourne, after making an appearance at last week’s sister event in Sydney where he did not make a speech, and described his return as “emotional” but emphasised the opportunities ahead of the company.
I am wondering when these indulengences will run out of steam. Really, who cares whether this guy is emotionally ready to join News? Are the shareholders emotionally ready for him to burn money the way he has to date? FFS.
I’m very keen to know what he has touched that hasn’t turned to rust???
” is because I can see a myriad of opportunities ”
two things…
1) myriad of?
2) Chanel ten
🙂
@offalspokesperson it’s “Channel Ten” and “myriad of” is probably more common in Australian English than simply “myriad.” The word was a noun before it was an adjective.
Incase Mr Lachlan Murdoch does read this. My name is Arthur Violatzis. I was the printer who was entrusted to train. I always had and still have Faith in you dear friend. Ill never forget your dreams. Maybe if you do text my email. We will loits to talk about. God Bless you and your family. Merry Christmas and a great new year
