So what makes a man like this tick? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Wolff gives us the definitive answer in \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Owns The News\u003c\/i\u003e.  With unprecedented access to Murdoch himself, his associates, and family, Wolff chronicles the astonishing growth of the $70 billion media kingdom. In intimate detail he probes the Murdoch family dynasty, from the battles that have threatened to destroy it to the reconciliations that seem to only make it stronger. Drawing upon hundreds of hours of interviews, he offers accounts of the Dow Jones takeover as well as plays for Yahoo! and Newsday as they've never been revealed before.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Murdoch is more than a predatory and merciless deal-maker. His company does not only generate dizzying profits and growth rates. His company generates the information that forms our understanding of the world. He presides over what we read, what we watch, what we come to believe about ourselves, to an extent that is without serious parallel anywhere on earth. In the words of Michael Wolff, Murdoch 'held more power over more time than any other contemporary figure'.  This is an opportunity to see and hear one of the most vivid, powerful, unusual, menacing and captivating men of the age. One of the central figures of our times.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in the irresistible style that only an award-winning columnist for 'Vanity Fair' can deliver, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Owns The News \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an exclusive glimpse into a man who wields extraordinary power and influence in the media on a worldwide scale - and whose family is being groomed to carry his legacy into the future.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48312784388254,"sku":"UBD-9781741669121","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781741669121.jpg?v=1790069697","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781741669121","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
