Follows the exposes, resignations and arrests resulting from an extraordinary series of events that has shaken the establishment to the core. Explores the Murdoch media model, the relationship with Thatcherism and the deregulation of the finance and media markets. It also charts the rise of new media and online activism, citizen and crowd-sourced journalism and their role in putting pressure on advertisers and legislators in the US and UK.
"Lucid, forceful. A roaring great read. I am most impressed by the way he grasps the central truth of the incapacity of our institutions to cope with Murdoch. The Fall of the House of Murdoch is an impressive accomplishment for its narrative energy, wit and intellectual range." --Sir Harold Evans, former editor of the Sunday Times
