Synopsis

The man who owns the news by Michael Wolff
This book is about Rupert Murdoch who is one of the most controversial yet successful businessman in the media arena as depicted by Michael Wolff. As semi-official biographer, Wolff has been using more material from family and colleagues, than from the 77 years old Australian news tycoon which gives a little taste of a modern Citizen Kane. This is yet another story of a workaholic, bad father who built his empire with almost magic-like inspiration, but the characters do not lack charm after all.
Michael Wolff, a columnist for Vanity Fair and two-time National Magazine Award winner, is one of the nation’s most influential writers about media, culture, and politics. He is a commentator for CNBC and a found of Newser (www.newser.com), the news aggregator. In 2003, he achieved international recognition for his dispatches from the Persian Gulf as the Iraq War began. His work, which has been widely anthologized, has appeared in numerous publications in The United States, including New York magazine, where he was a columnist, and the Guardian and Spectator in The United Kingdom. He is the author of four other books, including Autumn of the Moguls and Burn Rate. He lives in New York City.
