In "The Man Who Owns the News," Michael Wolff unveils the enigmatic world of Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul whose influence stretches across the globe, shaping narratives and swaying public opinion through his vast empire. With an astute eye, Wolff delves into the heart of Murdoch's News Corp, revealing not just the business acumen behind the acquisition of iconic institutions like The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and more, but also the personal dynamics of a family being primed to inherit this formidable legacy. Through Wolff's narrative, Murdoch emerges not merely as a titan of industry but as a complex figure, driven by ambition, yet bound by familial ties and the legacy he wishes to leave behind. Drawing from extensive interviews with Murdoch himself, alongside those who orbit his world—family, executives, and rivals—Wolff crafts a narrative that is as compelling as it is revelatory. "The Man Who Owns the News" is more than a business saga; it is a study of power, ambition, and the creation of a media dynasty unparalleled in modern history. As Wolff charts Murdoch's audacious bids for power and expansion, from the Dow Jones acquisition to attempts at Yahoo! and Newsday, readers are offered an exclusive window into the strategies and secrets of a man who quietly owns the news we consume. This book is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of media, power, and personality.
