Murdoch is a troublemaker - one of the last great troublemakers in the holier-than-thou, ethically straitjacketed news business.

Michael Wolff

Introduction

Throughout the world of journalism, Rupert Murdoch is admired and feared in equal measure.

With the media power he has built, Murdoch has influenced countless elections in the English-speaking world and met every U.S. President since Harry Truman.

But what drives the man who drives the media, and who influences the man who has influenced?

In his 2008 book, The Man Who Owns The News, journalist Michael Wolff unpicks the history of the 'eternal outsider' who rose to the top, drawing from many interviews with Murdoch, his family, and his rivals.

From Murdoch's first paper to his disruption of media institutions throughout the UK and U.S., Wolff gives an unprecedented account of the most powerful man in media.
