Murdoch, chairman of media giants News Corp and Fox, is stepping down from management.
It has been 70 years since I started running a media company.
The eldest son, Lachlan, who is currently co-chairman of News Corp, will take charge of management.
Murdoch, who was born in Australia, grew up after taking over a small local newspaper company following the sudden death of his father at the age of 22.
At the age of 37, he moved to the UK and acquired tabloids such as ‘News of the World’ and ‘Sun’, increasing sales with sensational gossip and entertainment news.

When entering the United States, the company purchased the tabloid ‘New York Post’.
Furthermore, it has exercised enormous influence in the mainstream media by acquiring the Wall Street Journal, a leading economic magazine in the United States, and The Times in the United Kingdom.
In the 1980s, he acquired 20th Century Fox and became the head of a media empire.
He also exerted behind-the-scenes influence on Australian, British, and American politics through his own media company, earning him the nickname “Sun King.”
