Lachlan Murdoch has taken over as CEO of Fox Corporation, while he remains co-chairman of News Corporation. There is speculation that he may seek to re-combine the two Murdoch family businesses, but any action on this front would be unlikely to occur for at least another two years. Like his father Rupert, Lachlan Murdoch is regarded as being passionate about publishing; he began his involvement with News Corp at the age of 16 when he cleaned printing presses in Queensland.

Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox has advised that Lachlan Murdoch will become CEO and chairman of what has been dubbed "New Fox" if a deal to sell most of its entertainment assets to Disney proceeds. Rupert Murdoch will be co-chairman of what would be a much smaller company, with assets such as the Fox broadcast network and cable channel Fox News. Lachlan Murdoch says the new Fox will be a "leader in news, sports and entertainment". Fox’s current CEO James Murdoch is widely tipped to leave the group and start his own business.

21st Century Fox has downplayed media reports in the US which have suggested that Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes is poised to step down. Ailes has been accused of sexually harassing a former Fox News employee. Fox News has become the highest-rating and most profitable news channel since it was launched in 1996, and contributes more than $US1bn in free cash flow to 21st Century Fox each year. Media experts believe that Ailes’ departure would have a big impact on 21st Century Fox, with some saying that there is no obvious successor.
