WASHINGTON - Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and CEO of News Corporation, joins legendary journalist Marvin Kalb to share his unique perspectives on the future of journalism and the media in the next edition of The Kalb Report, Tuesday, April 6, 2010, at 8 p.m. in the main ballroom of the National Press Club (529 14th St., NW, Washington, D.C., 20045).
“There are few people in America who exercise so powerful an influence over what we see, what we hear, what we know about our world as Rupert Murdoch,” said Mr. Kalb. “I cannot wait to sit down and talk to this media mogul about the crisis in contemporary journalism and to hear his views about what can be done to fix it. What a wonderful opportunity!”
From print to television to the silver screen, Rupert Murdoch’s ever-growing media empire seemingly knows no bounds. As the founder, chairman, and chief executive of News Corporation, Mr. Murdoch’s reign began with the acquisition of local newspapers in his native Australia. Utilizing the tabloid technique that he later made the signature style of “The New York Post,” these newspapers thrived under the leadership of Mr. Murdoch and quickly established him as one of the most powerful businessmen in Australia. He then expanded beyond Australia, adding the U.S., UK and Asia to his media portfolio. Starting with his first American acquisition in 1973, the “San Antonio Express-News,” Mr. Murdoch swiftly duplicated and exceeded his Australian success in the United States. Noteworthy acquisitions and launches included “The New York Post,” 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, the Fox Broadcasting Company, the Fox News Channel, Dow Jones & Company and the popular social networking site, MySpace.
