Murdoch, (Keith) Rupert

Murdoch, (Keith) Rupert
(n. 11 mar. 1931, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia).

Editor de periódicos y empresario de medios de comunicación australiano. Hijo de un famoso corresponsal de guerra australiano, heredó dos periódicos de Adelaida en 1954 e incrementó enormemente su circulación al dar énfasis a las noticias sobre crímenes, sexo, escándalos, deportes e historias de interés popular; entretanto, asumía una postura editorial abiertamente conservadora. Siguió esta misma estrategia ganadora luego de comprar periódicos en Australia, Gran Bretaña y EE.UU. a través de su empresa global de medios de comunicación, The News Corporation Ltd. También adquirió publicaciones convencionales y respetadas, entre ellas, The Times de Londres. En las décadas de 1980 y 1990 se expandió al campo editorial de libros y publicaciones electrónicas, televisión, producción de cine y vídeo. Entre sus empresas se cuentan el periódico New York Post, Fox, Inc. (ver Fox Broadcasting Co.), HarperCollins Publishers, British Sky Broadcasting, Star TV, (un servicio de televisión panasiático) y el equipo de béisbol Los Angeles Dodgers.
