www.rte.ieI don’t have real-time access right now, but here’s a concise update based on recent reporting up to late 2025:
- The Murdoch succession saga dominated business and media coverage, centering on Rupert Murdoch’s efforts to adjust the family trust to ensure Lachlan Murdoch retains control of Fox News, News Corp, and related assets after Rupert’s death. Multiple outlets reported the dispute involved complex court proceedings in Nevada and scrutiny from other family members and outside observers.[1][5]
- Public attention focused on the broader question of how the empire’s leadership would influence editorial direction, given Lachlan’s position versus his siblings’ more varied political views.[3][4]
- By late 2025, several major outlets reported that the resolution of the dispute had moved toward preserving Lachlan’s leadership, with discussions described in the press as moving toward a formal arrangement or settlement, though the exact terms and date varied by report.[4][6][10]
