Fox Corporation CEO and Executive Chairman
Lachlan Murdoch expressed support for Fox News journalists and “center-right” opinion hosts Thursday, saying that he’s happy with the positioning of the network because that’s where “middle America” is.
Murdoch’s comments, which came during a Q&A session at research firm MoffettNathanson’s Media and Communications Summit, were part of his response to a question asked about competition from networks like Newsmax and One America News.
“We compete every day with CNN, MSNBC, other news sources, so having competitors to the right of us is natural,” Murdoch said. “Opinion on our channel is center-right. That’s the right place for us to be. That’s where we think our audience is, that’s where middle America is. We’re happy with that positioning.”

Boom time for digital media businesses
After the media companies’ businesses bounced back in the fourth quarter of 2020, some industry executives wondered whether the rebound would carry on into 2021 or whether there would be a slump in the first quarter. Based on the latest quarterly earnings reports released by major publicly traded publishers, tech platforms and TV network owners, both circumstances seem to be true and signal a continued return to business as usual for better or worse, depending on the state of a company’s digital business.
