Rupert Murdochsteps down as chairman of Fox and News Corp; son Lachlan takes over
In September, Murdoch stepped down from his roles as chair of Fox Corporation and executive chairman of News Corp. He was succeeded by his son Lachlan.
"Neither excessive pride nor false humility are admirable qualities," Murdoch said at the time. "But I am truly proud of what we have achieved collectively through the decades, and I owe much to my colleagues, whose contributions to our success have sometimes been unseen outside the company but are deeply appreciated by me."
