Rupert Murdoch has handed sole chairmanship of his media empire to his son Lachlan. It went much smoother than HBO’s Succession (see image above), which is allegedly modeled after the Murdoch family. This is the latest step in a process that began in 2019 when Lachlan became CEO of Fox. It remains to be seen whether Lachlan will chart a different course on issues such as defamation lawsuits, election influence, and pursuing a Trump-friendly agenda. However, one thing is certain: Murdoch's media empire will continue to shape the daily news cycle.
