Murdoch locked in legal battle with his children over who will control his media empire | The World

Rupert Murdoch has gone to war with his adult children, engaging in a legal battle pitting the siblings against one another for future control of his media empire. On the death of the 93-year-old news baron, a trust that's been in place for years would hand power over equally to his four adult children but moves are now under way to grant his son Lachlan sole control. Walter Marsh, journalist and author of ‘Young Rupert: The Making Of The Murdoch Empire’ tells The World’s Beverley O’Connor that Murdoch is trying to shore up his legacy “and the future of the Murdoch name”.
