Murdoch
Begins His Rise
After his father died, Murdoch returned
to Australia to take over the two newspapers. Over the next three
years Murdoch plunked down millions to buy newspapers and radio and TV
stations all over Australia. By 1968 Murdoch's media empire was worth
46 million. His buying spree continued throughout the 1970s, as he set
up in Britain and then the United States.

Just A Front
Man
Within a few years Murdoch was acting as the front-man for
Oppenheimer, Bronfman, Armand Hammer, and the Rothschild empire. This
almost limitless financial backing is the real force behind Murdoch's
mercurial rise to control, among his other media interests, a yearly
newspaper circulation of 3.5 billion copies.
