Murdoch moved to Britain and rapidly became a major force there after his acquisitions of the News of the world, The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times. 
 In 2011 The News of the World , which was one of the biggest selling papers in England was shut down due to scandals over the past few years of phone hacking;s by journalists etc of murder victims and service men and women who had been killed while out on duty in Afghan and Iraq. As a result people in high places were arrested and some sent to Jail.

In the early 1970, Rupurt Murdoch bought the San Antonio Times , and soon after founded the National Star , a Supermarket Tabloid and then followed up by buying the New York Post.


NEWS LIMITED currently operates 170 newspaper and magazine titles in Australia alone. Employing over 12,000 people world wide.




News Limited control the majority of the large selling papers in England. I didn't realize this until i did my research. I feel that news can influence people in so many ways and can influence people into thinking a certain way abut a topic. I feel that these papers back in England work together to get what ever they want gained achieved. 
If there is a political debate, they will maybe focus more positive things on certain people and try and find dirt on other political people. They will not hold back any details and will snoop into peoples lives as much as possible to get what they want. 
When the papers make mistakes and publish false information, they often apologize but with a very small article, which doesn't make up for the damage caused already.
I feel that the media has and will always influence me on certain topics as they make it out to be so truthful and have ways of persuading me and everyone else around that they are right and we should agree with it.
