The Disney acquisition, Fox News and monetizing in the streaming age — it’s all on the table.
Hi, James Murdoch and his brother were supposed to end up running one of the world’s most powerful media companies. Now those plans are up in the air: The Murdoch family wants to sell much of the family business to Disney, and it’s unclear if James, currently the CEO of 21st Century Fox, would end up working for the new owners. That’s a surprising turn of events, one that says a lot about the state of the media business in 2018 — and about the technology companies that are upending that business. So what does James Murdoch do next? And what becomes of the rest of the Murdoch empire? We’ll ask him these questions — and many more — at the Code Conference, where he will join CEOs from the most important media and tech companies, including: Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber Brian Chesky, Airbnb Randall Stephenson, AT&T Katrina Lake, Stitch Fix Hope to see you there!
