AWW23: Moguls and the Media - Sarah Hanson-Young & Paddy Manning

Chair: Jim Middleton


The TV series Succession has been appointment viewing
and frequent comparisons have been drawn between the fictional
Roy media empire and the real Murdoch family. Paddy Manning’s new
book, The Successor: The High-Stakes Life of Lachlan
Murdoch, could well provide background material for a future
season in which the ageing, tyrannical mogul finally ’pops his
clogs’. With Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, who chaired the 2021
senate inquiry into media diversity, Manning will take us inside
the global media empire that Lachlan Murdoch is likely to
inherit.
