Murdoch Family's Secret Court Battle Over Media Empire Concludes in Reno

Rupert Murdoch seeks to alter family trust to ensure eldest son Lachlan's control over News Corp and Fox News.

The closed-door hearing in Reno, Nevada, aimed to resolve the succession of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, concluded without a public decision.
Murdoch, 93, is attempting to change the terms of a family trust to grant his eldest son, Lachlan, full control after his death.
The trust, established during Murdoch's second divorce, currently divides control equally among his four eldest children: Lachlan, James, Elisabeth, and Prudence.
The Nevada Supreme Court has given the Murdoch family 28 days to respond to media requests to unseal court documents, with sensitive information redacted.
The outcome could significantly impact the future direction of Fox News and News Corp, with potential shifts in their political stance and business strategy.
