The Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch is 90 years old this month. Is it time for him to hand over News Corp to the next generation, and will it survive when he does? Ed Butler speaks to leading international media analyst Claire Enders about the financial state of News Corp. Jess Todfield, a former Fox News producer from the early days of the network, explains why he thinks the US channel still has a bright future despite losing viewers. Veteran Australian journalist Hugh Lunn talks about working for Murdoch across the decades. And we hear from the former editor of The Sun and the New York Post, David Yelland, on what it was like working for Rupert Murdoch, and why there may never be another media mogul like him.
