NPR A spotlight is shining down on a small court in Reno, Nevada to settle a

family squabble and decide the future of a global media empire. It reads like an episode of succession, that dramatic behind the scenes battle between

Rupert Murdoch and three of his children at...

93 year old Rupert Murdoch and his children are embroiled in a court case over who will take control over Fox Corp and News Corp.

The family businesses.

We're talking newspapers, publishing, radio, and television.

The Empire includes Fox News, the New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal here in the

U.S. The Times in the UK, and the Australian in Murdoch's native land.

Murdoch started all this with a local Australian paper that he inherited from his dad.

Rupert Murdoch once agreed to divide equal control of his empire to his four eldest children.

Now he wants just his eldest son Lachlan in charge of it all.

But with pushback from his other children, the probate court will decide what's ultimately allowed and who will inherit control.

drama come to be and what all this mean for the future or one of the most influential
