It’s a dismally familiar story—but is it a story of jobs or values? The obvious answer is both, which is why no one’s five-point solutions or three-word slogan is convincing. News Corp. certainly seems to think it’s not so unlikely—or at least it’s...

News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch is talking nonsense, according to Google. Murdoch, a Twitter user for only the past several weeks, used the service to fire a barrage of accusations Saturday night against President Obama and Google.
We are delighted to have in News Corporation both a partner with a long track record of growing entrepreneurial, innovative businesses and an investor that sees value in entering parts of the world which many media organizations have not traditionally looked to.
Murdoch exploded last night after news that the Obama White House was coming out against two online anti-piracy bills near and dear to the hearts and financial interests of major media companies like News Corp
London police investigating the scandal of illegal telephone hacking centred on the British arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp empire said they had made another arrest on Wednesday.
We explained to Ferguson that the unsuccessful bid approach from News Corporation had magnified the conflicts which the independent non‑executive directors have to deal with and, therefore, that it is inappropriate that the group’s board (or indeed the board of any company) is led by a representative of...
PepsiCo, News Corp, and Microsoft are among our largest holdings because each company has a good business and is selling at a very attractive price.
If you block out the News Corp stake, we calculate the opposed and abstain votes to represent around 40 percent -- he has clearly lost the support of a large number of the company's owners.
Can he genuinely be independent when actually he is an employee of News Corporation?
The fundamentals at BSkyB remain pretty strong ... What’s going on at board level and elsewhere across the News Corp. empire, that’s another issue.
An effort to oust him from the News Corp. board fell short last month with 35 percent of the vote at the company's annual meeting.
Let's not forget that News Corp does hold 39 percent of the equity and that helps stabilize his position within the company
News Corp. is an international company of enormous scale and complexity. To say BSkyB needs a full-time Chairman is absolutely correct. I really don’t believe Mr. Murdoch has time for both.
However, you could say shareholder value has been impacted because the bid from News Corp had to be withdrawn.
However, the problem is -- because of all the other stuff that has happened -- you could say shareholder value has been impacted because the bid from News Corp had to be withdrawn.
Laurie Penny reacts badly when she learns that News Corp have bought the Guardian
This clearly affects BSkyB, since the exposure of the phone-hacking scandal and the expensive cover-up led directly to the failure of News Corp's bid for the outstanding shares of the company
Overall, I don’t think News Corp. will own News International in the next 14 months or so. This is slowly withdrawing family interest from the U.K. titles, which are a marginal asset and increasingly became a distraction of management time.
I believed that [he] was clearly implying that News Corporation would run news stories or editorial content concerning any issue I wanted if I was to cross the floor and oppose the digital conversion legislation.
I felt that these arguments were made up because News Corporation had no financial interest in non-pay television broadcasting
I believed that (he) was clearly implying that News Corporation would run news stories or editorial content concerning any issue I wanted if I was to cross the floor (vote on non-party lines) and oppose the digital conversion legislation
also told me we would have a 'special relationship,' where I would have editorial support from News Corp.'s newspapers, not only with respect to the ... legislation, but for 'any other issues' too
After this conversation, it became almost impossible for me to get anything published in the Queensland newspapers which News Corp. controlled, even though I had been able to do so before the lunch meeting
I believed that (he) was clearly implying that News Corp. would run news stories or editorial content concerning any issue I wanted if I was to cross the floor and oppose the ... legislation
did little at the latest [Commons] hearings to suggest he should be allowed to remain as chairman ... He may not have seen or heard any evil, but his failure to track the cash at News International, a fully-owned subsidiary of publicly quoted News Corporation, smacks of inexperience and even incompetenc...
