Features: This industry is one of the most powerful and profitable in the world today; this group is one of the top companies in the Fortune Global 500, with net assets exceeding $40 billion, operating across four continents, and the highest degree of internationalization; this elder, who has built and controlled News Corporation for over 50 years, is also known as one of the most prominent media moguls in the world and a "devil"; from Adelaide, Sydney, London, New York, Hollywood to Hong Kong and Beijing in China, from Phoenix TV, National Geographic, Star TV, Channel V, Fox Film to The New York Times and The Times, the shadows of Murdoch and his "dream kingdom that covers the sky" are everywhere in sight. This is a myth about the media, achieved through a series of gambling-like investments and life-and-death battles, and it is the only chronicle in the sky of the media that carries a strong personal color. Getting closer to Murdoch, we try to understand him and track him, and the Murdoch of myth is no longer just mysterious to us. This book tells the story of how Murdoch built and controlled News Corporation for over 50 years, while also earning the reputation of being one of the most prominent media moguls in the world and a "devil."
