A secretly taped recording of News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch has revealed who might succeed the octogenarian as head of the family media empire.
Speaking at a meeting at the Sun newspaper, Murdoch said either his son Lachlan or News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson would likely take the helm should anything happen to him.
News Corp shareholders have previously urged Murdoch – whose family trust owns around 40% of the company’s voting shares – to name his successor.
