Overview

• Rupert Murdoch, 93, seeks to alter the family trust to ensure Lachlan maintains control of Fox News after his death.
• The current trust gives equal voting rights to Murdoch's four oldest children, allowing potential for Lachlan to be outvoted.
• James Murdoch, critical of Fox's right-wing programming, aims to steer the network towards more progressive and reality-based news.
• The court case, which began on September 17 in Reno, Nevada, is expected to last two weeks and could significantly impact the Murdoch media empire.
• The outcome may also influence shareholder efforts to eliminate News Corp's dual-class share structure, potentially reducing Murdoch family control.
