Australian author Walter Marsh talks to Claire Atkinson about his new book “ Young Rupert: The Making of the Murdoch Empire.” Marsh talks about how he dug up old correspondence from the 1950s to paint a vivid portrait of Rupert’s young adult life and the beginnings of the newspaper business he inherited and rapidly grew after his father’s death. Marsh also finds new information about Rupert’s left-leaning years at Oxford and how he learned the tricks of the trade. To stay in the mix, be sure to subscribe to this podcast and the newsletter, TheMediaMix.substack.com.
