James Murdoch loses top job at News Corp

[Chris]

London (Financial Times) -- News Corp has moved to distance James Murdoch from its troubled newspaper brands in the UK announcing that he would step down as executive chairman of News International.

"James Murdoch, deputy chief operating officer, has relinquished his position as executive chairman of News International, its UK publishing unit," News Corp said in a statement.

"Tom Mockridge, chief executive officer of News International, will continue in his post and will report to News Corporation president and COO [chief operating officer] Chase Carey."

The company said he would now focus on the expansion of the international TV business.

Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive, News Corp, said: "We are all grateful for James' leadership at News International and across Europe and Asia, where he has made lasting contributions to the group's strategy in paid digital content and its efforts to improve and enhance governance programs."

He's only stepped down from print press to focus on broadcast media. He remains deputy chief operating officer of parent group News Corporation.

Much ado about nothing.

His title is disingenuous at best.... he didn't 'lose' his job. He resigned... and he's smart to do so. Broadcast media has a stronger future than print.... and James is ideally placed to push News Corp's broadcast arm into a stronger position for decades to come.

Only a fucking moron would see this as a 'win' for anyone... other than James Murdock.

The question is, What did Rupert know, and when did he know it?

The question is, What did Rupert know, and when did he know it?

The question is do you know where the media sub forum is?

The more interesting question is.... do you know anything about anything? It's relevant because, by your posts, one would think not.

LONDON — A day after presiding over the publication of his new, damn-the-critics Sun on Sunday tabloid, Rupert Murdoch was confronted with fresh allegations from a top police investigator that the daily Sun had systematically paid large sums of money to “a network of corrupted officials” in the British police, military, and government.


The allegations, part of a deepening criminal probe into The Sun and Mr. Murdoch’s defunct News of the World, highlight the challenges to Mr. Murdoch and his News Corporation as he seeks to minimize the threat to his British media holdings. They also cast a harsh spotlight on the freewheeling pay-for-information culture of the British media.
