As Chairman of News Corp, the Australian born Rupert Murdoch runs a global empire that includes newspapers, magazines, a movie studio, television stations, satellite operations, a publishing house and digital media platforms. Murdoch is responsible for tabloid newspapers like The New York Post while owning highly respected papers such as the Times of London and his most prized possession, The Wall Street Journal. Though he has been credited with modernizing the newspaper business, he has also been demonized as a union buster for his campaign against the printing unions in Great Britain.
