Edmund Gorman Jr is about to decide the future of the Murdoch family’s media empire in a courthouse in Reno in Nevada, with Gorman being a county probate commissioner. Gorman is expected to hear testimony from Rupert Murdoch and his four eldest children, with Murdoch seeking to change the terms of a ‘irrevocable’ family trust he agreed to some two decades ago. The trust gives Lachlan Murdoch and his three other siblings listed in the trust equal say over the controlling shares of the family’s companies after Rupert Murdoch’s death, but Rupert Murdoch wants Lachlan Murdoch to get full control of them.
