New Participatory Project: Following Rupert Murdoch's Money Trail

Share this

Some of the major shareholders of the Dow Jones company, which publishes the Wall Street Journal, are agonizing over whether to accept a takeover bid from Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate, News Corporation. With steady traffic to the Murdoch-related articles in SourceWatch, it would be good to include details of the donations he and his companies have made to U.S. politicians. To do this you can go to the Opensecrets.org website and search on Rupert Murdoch, check the box "search all cycles" and add the data in date order here. The results of searches on News Corporation, News America Publishing and the Fox Broadcasting Company can be added here. If this is your first time editing on SourceWatch, you can register here, and learn more about adding information to the site here and here.
