Book Description
War at the Wall Street Journal is a comprehensive and readable account of how Rupert Murdoch came to own the crown jewel of American business journalism. It is a behind-the-scenes portrait of the most powerful person in media pouncing on the chance to add to his global empire. This book offers fascinating insights into a landmark business sale – perhaps the last major print media deal – and provides a fair and detailed account of the lead-up to and aftermath of Murdoch’s acquisition. The book raises significant questions about the future of print journalism and declining newspaper readership, about online news content and News Corp’s strategy. It is a look into big business, a crumbling old-money dynasty and the media mogul himself.
