(Reno, NV) — The battle over who will control Rupert Murdoch’s media empire after he dies is unfolding in a courtroom in Reno this week. Since Monday, the 93-year-old Murdoch and his lawyers have been appearing in Washoe County probate court. Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post, wants his son Lachlan to have full control after his death. As it stands, operational control would be shared equally among Murdoch’s four oldest children. James, Elisabeth and Prudence Murdoch are fighting to keep the trust the way it is. Lachlan Murdoch is currently running his father’s publishing and television companies.
