Murdoch, Announcing News Corp. Split, Calls Newspapers ‘Viable’ and ‘Undervalued’
By AMY CHOZICK

11:39 a.m. | Updated Rupert Murdoch confirmed Thursday morning that News Corporation, his $54 billion media conglomerate, will proceed with a plan to divide the company in two — separating newspapers like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and The Times of London from the fast-growing entertainment unit.

In a news release, the company said the split would be completed within the next 12 months, with Mr. Murdoch serving as chairman of both companies and chief executive of the entertainment business. Chase Carey would remain chief operating officer of the entertainment group, which would include cable channels like FX and Fox News, the 20th Century Fox studio and Fox Broadcasting. In the coming months, the board of directors would decide the leader of the publishing business.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


Really.

In other revolations we find out that water is wet, ice is cold, and the sun always rises in the east.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Well, at least now they'll maybe be admitting what we've known for so long. Or not. Of course, nobody will tell the RIGHTIES that it's entertainment, not news, so nothing will change on that front...

I've always thought that with CNN and FOX there should be two channels each, one for straight news, someone just reads the news and shows footage, and one for talk shows. CNN already has two channels but they aren't divided thusly. If this were inacted everyone would be happier.

Unfortunately, the parties involved with making those channels co mingle so much, the lines between what they produce end up crossing over and getting so blurred so, it's hard to separate one from t'other.

CNN's Headline News was once billed as just that, just the headlines, with no fluff or cutesy shows. Then you got Nancy Grace and Joy Bahar... gag!

"Straight news " just doesn't sell anymore.
