Rupert Murdoch is one of the most influential media moguls in the world, and his impact on Britain’s press has been nothing short of revolutionary. But he is often accused of dragging our press into the gutter, disregarding the law, and influencing our politics.
Now a BBC documentary set to air later this month hopes to shed new light on Murdoch’s legacy. Titled ‘Murdoch: Agent of Change’, it aims to show that his influence was necessary for post-war Britain, and that he was an essential part of its transformation.
The documentary will feature interviews with well-known figures such as former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who discuss how Murdoch’s influence helped shape British society during this period. It will also explore how his much-criticised tabloid journalism changed the public discourse at a time when technology was transforming everyday life.
This highly anticipated documentary promises to be an insightful exploration into the life of Rupert Murdoch and his substantial influence on Britain in recent history. So don’t miss out! Tune into BBC One on Sunday 18th October at 9pm BST to watch ‘Murdoch: Agent of Change’ and get a unique perspective on Rupert Murdoch’s lasting legacy in British society.
