	rediff.com: Murdoch son flays media over globalism
		James Murdoch, son of media magnate Rupert and head of Asia's Star TV, launched a blistering attack on the world's top media groups, saying they had failed to understand what it takes to be a global player.
		Murdoch, executive vice president of his father's News Corp empire, said Hong Kong tycoon Li had particularly missed the point in building Star as a primarily English language, analog, five-channel, free-to-air distributor in the heart of Asia.
		Murdoch, who is in the running alongside his brother Lachlan to succeed Rupert, said globalism would underpin the necessary growth of tomorrow's media pace-setters.

	Murdoch, Rupert K.
		Murdoch was able to quickly reverse the unprofitable states of these newspapers, and he used the new profits to acquire other media properties--thereby exhibiting the fundamental growth strategy that would come to characterize his career.
		Murdoch saw the situation as a rare opportunity to purchase a group of choice television stations in the country's largest markets, thereby ensuring a distribution vehicle for his new studio's programs.
		While Murdoch was able to renegotiate the terms of his agreements, which avoided the disaster, it temporarily placed Murdoch in the unusual position of being unable to aggressively expand News Corp.'s holdings.
