GSCE Media Blog - Rupert Murdoch

2. Rupert started off in newspapers and therefore owns many
global newspaper businesses such as News Of The World (UK)
and News Corp (USA). As a result, he could publish main
headlines that showcase the government in a bad light so that
his readers will engage in the story and most likely form a
negative opinion. Not only would these stories be on the front
page, but they would be on the front page around the world due
to Murdoch owning so many global tabloids.

3. Rupert Murdoch also owns a lot of major film companies such as
20th Century Fox and 21st Century Fox. Therefore, he could
produce films that present political themes that would show the
British Government to be no good. Audiences who watch the
film would then be lead to believe what Murdoch intends.

4. Given the power and money that Murdoch has, he could easily
choose to invest in other media forms such as TV and Radio. As a
result, he would have more ways to how the Government to be
no good through things such as radio broadcasts and TV
programs. It also means that he can choose when these things
are shown so he can choose exactly what audience he wants to
present his views to.
