So me to help with the just unites on the many challenges they face. On our next gen murder, fox news viewers state to, to see where the families media dynasty goes from here. Holdens government goes after a film director for exposing the countries of style treatment a refugee plus chick talk. And the multi elements of the italian under world are surfacing on law, the hello and richard gilbert. And youre at the listening post where we provide explanatory journalism about journalism. If youre preparing for your own succession, putting the final touches on a legacy, you start by a pointing an air and you do that when youre still in a position, a state to control what comes next. Thats what Rupert Murdoch did last week handing the reins to his global media empire to his eldest son lockwood. But in this real life story of succession, there may be some twisted in the tail complications to come. When murdoch, whose 92. 00 does eventually die 3 of laughlin, siblings might have somebody to say about who ends up in charge of the family for news court. And by extension fox news, they have a different brand of politics, perhaps a different vision for the future of the murdock empire. Laughlin takes over news corp with plenty on his plate, an upcoming us selection, and a major lawsuit over foxes coverage of the last election. Considerate that extended audition, for the job of writing, one of the biggest, most influential and according to its critics most dangerous news organizations on the planet. The speculation began decades ago. When will Rupert Murdoch hand over his global media empire and to who, who will end up controlling fox news and the wall street journal in the us talk tv the times and the sun in the sky name is this trail. Yeah. And 7 of the 12 National Daily papers there. Hundreds of news outlets across 3 continents, Publishing Companies and streaming services. For now murdock has anointed his eldest son laughlin. Choosing him over james and the 2 sisters, elizabeth and prudence. Call it a pre emptive strike. Rupert murdoch is doing what he can, while hes still can to control the future of the company. He created the true succession and more fascinating. The story unfortunately begins added death with river murdoch passive. Thats when really it will start to see massive changes, the family trust splits for ways. So lockley and it was served while hes running the company. Now when it comes to the Decision Making after his father passes, that will be split. And so thats where the torque conversations, the task that goes shading the ill a share between the siblings will really start to take hold group. It is in fine health. Hes not lived until a 103. He is 92. So it might not happen for quite some time yet. And i did report in my book that there was an intention among the siblings on roof. Its passing to reyes a control of them that our Family Businesses in a way that promotes and enhances democracies around the world rather than undermines the laughlin is to the right of his siblings politically. And the divide between them has deepened, starting in november. Murdock will hold the honorary title of chairman emeritus where he is and you could also see this is a sideways move into being an ameritas within the company. Re put with spring is the of laughlin and still playing a very Important Role. Its been a rocky couple of years for my, those companies, some expensive settlements, some difficult political relationships. So you could speculate the now is as good a time as any to make that move. The murdoch sons of always been considered the heirs apparent to the empire for a time. The biggest thing that the last one had going for him. Apart from sharing his fathers conservative politics was what he didnt to he left in news corp in 2005 focused on australia and made some investments of his own. Theyre outside of the mainstream meeting. So laughlin wasnt around 5 years later when the phone hacking scandal broke in the u. K. James had to carry the can on that along with rupert at the judicial inquiry that fall out. This is that i tumbled that and i like the product go son, returned in 2014, when laughlin on, touched by the stigma around the Family Business in the u. K. Took on a senior position at news core. And then fox news in the us, the 2020 president ial election was not fair. No honest person would claim that it was fair. But laughlin was on the inside for a journalistic scandal far worse than phone. Hack foxes, merchandising of Donald Trumps stolen election claims which the network and the murdocks knew to be lies but broadcast anyway, the lawsuits that followed have cost fox, almost 800000000. 00 and counting. Yet none of that has damage to walk in the way phone hacking. Did james, at least not in the eyes of his father to walk them us in a way the last man standing out so giants fairly or unfairly was tommy spied the fine hacking scandal. He was running News International that he was never responsible for the newspapers when they were doing the actual fun hacking party was responsible for the companys response to the front acting scandal. And he was thomas by it and started laughlin was the only one left. Laughlin murdocks, uh, role at uh, fox news. It, its quite damaging to see that, even as the network knew, that donald trump had lost the 2020 election that his claims of Election Fraud were false. Those claims were nonetheless being peddled on a constant basis on fox news. They were so concerned that they could lose their audience to more extreme rivals. They were willing to put the very fabric of american democracy in jeopardy. And we saw the results of that strategy on january 6th of 2021000. 00 strongly to capital after a rally with president trump, during which he 1st them to march on the capital. The question now becomes, what if anything, changes at news corp. Now that laughlin murdock has been chosen by his father to call the shots, is the strategy to prioritize ratings and corporate profits over journalistic accuracy and ethics here to stay past behavior. What suggest laughlin is not one for attorney, but can he afford not to change . Fox settled the dominion voting systems lawsuit out of court, but a 2nd Defamation Case launched by another voting machine. Company, smart magic is still to be adjudicated and the ask is 2700000000. 00. That is the conundrum. This fox alter its journalism to limit future legal damages because doing so would risk alienating its audience and driving down its own ratings. Laughlin murdock state ment suggests that he does not care if his network is putting us democracy in jeopardy. Whats most significant is what fox news became in the years, all of which i see was running it beginning in in 2018 or so. A propaganda outlet for Donald TrumpsWhite White House promoting White Nationalist conspiracy theories. Demagoguery on the levels that even for fox news was unusual mark on my side that i but they have actually behind the scenes being very careful about how they cover those spaces. Stolen election claims ever since the dominion case. And you want say, trump live on fox news. Told the interviews that theyve done have been prayed tight. You have said within days of the dominion settlement, the benching of the most popular law primetime anchor tucker carlson. Hes clearly wanting to make moves that will make his mark the day after Rupert Murdoch for explanation. He pointed to board members, one of which was the former Prime Minister of australia, tony abbott, who is a Climate Crisis, deny, or lockman. Murdock is not only making his mark, but also maintaining his fathers legacy when it comes to that type of viewpoint in the world. What Rupert Murdochs retirement announcement provided was a sneak preview of how his obituary will read. A story of wealth amassed influence wield damaged. Not that murdock will care about what his critics on the outside are saying about his legacy. There are all kinds of new sources all around the world, saying nice things about his own. We are living in the world that Rupert Murdoch made creating a global media empire on 3 continents based on the an understanding that he could sell right wing grievance, an anger and misinformation, and a mass astonishing wealth and power. One part that has continued to be a part of his legacy is denying the Climate Crisis that were in promoting lies and skeptics and fall. So its a balance of climate change, even though none could provide any evidence to that for voting of the election live here in the us and promoting donald trump hocking into the phones of celebrities and crime victims and others. So many examples that have furnaces, reputation and been controversial. I was particularly struck by re put maddox, a so called resignation statement, where he railed against the power of a league. It takes such an enormous amount of chutzpah to say that when you have the wealth and the privilege of anyone in the mode or find the prison, to many politicians continue to count child to re put not all, no one known Alexis Parson should wield, that kind of influence for me, the real question is not so much about what will happen in the real life succession. But more about why we allow such large media conglomerates an empire has to exist. Turning to poland now where the country is ruling a law and Justice Party is launched. A campaign targeting a director whose new film focuses on the treatment of refugees at poland. Borders mean actually rocky is here with the to do to the green border is the new drama from director i me ask a holland its a fictional telling of real events which follows a group of city and an off con refugees on a treacher. This journey to the swampy forest along portlands border with their littles. Once they arrive at the border to see the hostile response components, officials who refused to let them in. The film has put a target uninstalled act as back. Holland has been attacked by a range of leaders at the top of the government. All of them effectively calling her a treatise on you, hold on to me and yet did call to stop the sheer fact. I dont know, but i suppose people are best searches. Paul just came on the door, is that quote, like theres custodial for them is in the middle of the type and divisive parliamentary Election Campaign in which parties across the spectrum have indulged in n p migrant directed to a key part of the doing law and justice. Parties, bitch, the women unprecedented. 3rd to him in office is a promise to keep pulling and safe from so called external fits a position in stock contrast with the welcome given to refugees from ukraine. The outraged innovated about holland and her film. Dustin, uniquely with that messaging. This make me also so law and justice member of the european parliament, dominic tosh, gantski hawking, the same anti immigration rhetoric to driving audiences abroad in the u. K. M, the us, what we saying is send them back. Okay. Simple as that, back in full and the election is 2 weeks away. Im just not just the demonize zation of refugees, but also the reading parties. Dominance of the news media that is likely to be a major factor in the results. Fax, me to italy now with the digital revolution has penetrated the depths of the underworld. Some mafia groups known for secrecy and keeping a low profile are now operating in plain sight on tick tock. The platform has become the go to form of communication for younger generations of different Italian Mafia groups from the and that i can get taught in calabria to the camara. In naples, they might be on tick tock to recruit new members, or theyre just putting a more polished brand out there, reminding citizens of their advert presence with specific hash tags and the mode use. Its a sort of we had a fact of way to exercise soft power among the italian tech talkers. Following those accounts, the countries anti mafia directorate investigators in search of evidence. The listening posts. Flo phillips now from rome on the mafia as new online stomping grounds. The just we just its august 1972, and the 1st installment to francisco. A couple of the godfather trilogy is released in the united states. Im gonna make an offer. Its the kind of movies thats been headed an entire against a zone. Bringing the infamous a tally and must be a will be a to romanticize representation of the to the big screen. As far back as i can remember, i always want it to be against. Since then, the mafia, its chapters and characters have been depicted in hundreds of movies and tv series. Some good fellows took them more. But today, 50 years since the godfathers 1st screen, theres a new move on this pull trellis and matthew on a much smaller screen with a different direct and one of the old jiggle dixtel people today with the advent of pick. Okay. And then social media massey, i can tell its own story, adopting those field, make representations to better reflect their own live style. They show us where they need, how they need the real conditions of the load on the its still go to the play is an Important Role because by its very nature, its a media platform that creates a protect goodness. Essentially, it is governed by the principle from your self and your sense that branding, re branding, is key to the matthews identity and of a decades brand, marcia has its roots in the 19th century sicilian country side anom duane of futile nobility. With the sole purpose of pushing claims from a greek peasant since then, the sicilian matthew, also known as cause i noticed that together with the calabria and grand get that the appellate and cut mode up, and the plea in sacramento dont need that has become entrenched in it least political and cultural countries. What each branch is unique when it comes to branding themselves on tick tock. This new propaganda push has one main message. Money. Were either of them is or sense only that it keeps saying what you say in these videos as well. For example, we find videos of someone like greece doing this because the, the son of a come on of us from naples, west side. We same with his friends opening some pain bookings up down on it by law. Ready but also the, the, with the, im on in another video, we see the son of an imprisoned commode, or bus station. Somebody know, hes also showing off as well, if theres very well dressed, elegant, but the viewers know this isnt some dead. The, heres the most of the song as theres sometimes referred to a baby bus. So they know that the money in oakland is still out there and has money. Yeah, go days only. Over the past few decades, arrests of some big mafia names have made headlines initially and beyond. But the tech to videos tell a different story. They edit out the crimes committed, the violence of the underworld. Instead, baby bosses brag about the latest, had to fancy watch expensive cars, all set to a local b. Its the retiring use of symbols and hashtags to give away an affinity ation with organized crime. They have tons of wasting a dorm, and do you think the motifs that expressed feelings 1000000 is used to suggest trend, then power, the exploding bulk this can represent military mind, but also express and then there are chains that relate to the fact that many of the most you consider themselves to be in prison is living under a kind of house arrest or the syringe, with a single drop of glass. I mean therapy did by the mafia to symbolize it blocked about brotherhood. Did you think its like a virtual taking out of that every treatment of satans us . What was definitely told you prestone, welcome. Going to open the inside. This somewhat contrast to wayne, which the are going to zation used to live until a few years ago than that. I can get that, for example, compared to the come. What about always kept to low profile, and it was absolutely forbidden to exhibit well from the bosses on their own spend years and years of their lives and conditions that extreme discomfort living and came in tunnels. This is no longer considered an acceptable way of life. Going to be up to the bottom, to put decline the stein to brazenly as the mfc, his presence on tip toe is a start to punch it from its original media modus operandi. And its representative of a wide, a social evolution for one of the most powerful criminal networks in the world. A shift from fall to self love unit insipid right. And was always part of the matthew narrative. Mad, extortion, various forms of petty crimes. It was the media and the message today, 200 years old and the modern day equivalent of this tradition of these and social media, the matthew responding to the impacts of the digital world. These videos are about the reading there. Well, and well just in front of the room, local community, but also in front of the authorities mind can, theyll do the task that i mean, they receive either a little more stays videos, show both their financial as well as their military power, but the less risky ways so before columbus was under attack from another commode oclock, mike showed strength with so called stairs the new drive by shooting these extra vitamins brought with them the police for us to now you might say a drive to the neighborhood enough for a record the dont take talk with me so the people to understand the client is the strong for the client is still in charge. Its a queen. Im going to put on the get come on and on, but im good. Thank us. The moment on, on that on get the brown. She wants to be seen as a trooper norris right now youre looking for social consensus. That means presenting yourself with a quote, a clean face. So the message on tick tock is with the people like everyone else see for yourself if what were saying is true. And this is where the pitfall lives. They present themselves as problem solving organizational needs. Thats the only problem solving as the coordinator of midland on t. Matthew, a director at o d d, a alexandra adult. She knows how dangerous this white washing of the matthew is keeping fighting the on the on get those networks and the notes eventually to more than 30 years. Now. The visa is part of the National Anti mafia and Counter Terrorism director. It a Key Institution based here in rome, it was established in 1991 as a counter wait to big story to us at the mafia. Well dive back then and still does today. As times change and organized crime embraces the digital world. The data is changing too often utilizing some of the same tools like tech tools, fritz investigations, the unclear is, can be found in the smallest details. If you know what to look for the price, be imagining thats true, tick, tock, imagery, we try to decode the messages them that and get to exchange. We focus on trying to work out the relationships between the subjects. For example, its now become a common thing to upload pictures of weddings, baptisms, birthday parties, important Public Events in which members of them that im going to climb from my so no being invited to an endodontist a way that means a member has been cast aside. Maybe even received a definite right. This happened in an investigation a few years ago. Aquatic slope is important for us because it shows the new direction them off. He has taken right to lead good investigations. One of you must 1st understand the matthews mentality and it strategies got the other one on a lot of strategies. The massey is Media Strategies led by a new digital. The savvy generation seems to be about maintaining pallets through social media, most effective way of reaffirming net present publishing that brand, growing that footprint . Tick tock is the Perfect Place for the strategies to spread because ultimately, criminal organizations and social media have a key thing and comment, and network network, social media replicates real World Social Networks must be as far as social networks. So the how to mean is understanding of how networks are actually build. One of these toilet paper in the future was, is the way the words. There is no difference in this case. I think youd like to take dokie such a direct communion. It shows whats actually happening, whatever it goes down on the street. If youre there, you will see it happens. If you dont know, you can check it out later on take to go. Its one and the same thing. We cannot think of it in terms of 2 separate words. Okay. See on a good one of these are about what am i feel just being honest about a day, the mascot sites between the real and the virtual. Bringing them together in a new space in use fit. Its the key to the message ability to adapt. And finally this week marks 20 years since the passing of palestinian American Intellectual edward sight.
