Rupert Murdoch may revive longstanding plan to reunite Fox and News Corp

NEW YORK: Rupert Murdoch’s longstanding wish to reunite Fox Corp and News Corp could resurface in a potential merger that would bring together a television company and a sprawling news operation, consolidating his family’s control over a smaller media empire, according to court documents and video.

Discussions about a possible re-merger emerged in recent weeks from unsealed court documents and attorney testimony linked to a family succession dispute that began in 2023. The judicial official overseeing the case released the findings at the end of July.
